In Corporate Responsibility and Human Rights, the author provides a comprehensive analysis and insight about critical human rights and corporate social responsibility issues and trends, and brings together important developments in these two disciplines in a single text. The author examines the character of social responsibility practices by corporations, and how corporate entities fulfill their responsibility to respect human rights in general, and indigenous peoples’ rights in particular. The author argues that considering the momentous impact of corporate projects and certain significant developments in the area of international human rights, an establishment of a universal binding corporate code of conduct is inescapable. The author concludes that respect for human rights by corporations should not simply be viewed as a moral or legal matter, but also as a bottom-line issue.
