Business and human rights is rapidly emerging as a legal discipline in the wake
of global developments in legislation, litigation, and international law. But the
contours of corporate risk and the evolving legal standard of care remain shrouded

lawyers how to unravel the ambiguity.
Features
• A global survey of trends in litigation, legislation, and international law
related to corporate human rights governance and risk management

private context, drawing on equity and abuse of right
• Involvement: A multidisciplinary investigation of the practical meaning of
cause, contribute, directly linked, and omission to provide principled certainty
regarding which adverse human rights impacts businesses are expected to
foresee, identify, and address
• Remedy: An analysis of how to ensure remedial outcomes are rights-compatible by translating the right to remedy from a public to private
context, with reference to legitimate corporate ends and constraints
• And much more
