Analysis on the Responsibility of Transnational Corporations to Protect Human Rights

Abstract

With the acceleration of the process of world economic integration, the overall strength of multinational corporations is becoming stronger and stronger, and profoundly affects the world's politics and economy, and gradually forms a new pattern of powerful countries. Multinational corporations have played an active role in promoting global economic development and improving international people's livelihood. However, the actions of some multinational corporations have had a positive impact on their actions at the expense of human rights. More and more multinational companies have caused serious harm to human health due to violations of labor standards and environmental pollution. On this issue, the international community generally attaches great importance to the relationship between transnational corporations and human rights. Therefore, in recent years, the issue of human rights responsibilities of transnational corporations has become a common concern in the world. In this context, this study analyzes the human rights violations of transnational corporations, and from the perspective of the current international predicament, puts forward suggestions to improve international legislation and establish responsibility mechanisms of companies, home countries and host countries.
