Description:

Corporate human rights responsibilities are increasingly under scrutiny in the global business landscape. This open access book, Corporate Human Rights Responsibility in OECD Case Law: Actors, Issues, Responsibilities, and Remedies, delves into the complexities of these responsibilities through a comprehensive analysis of OECD National Contact Point (NCP) cases, consolidating scholarly papers from a 2023 academic conference at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.

The book is structured into three sections: the first examines how NCP cases interpret corporate human rights responsibilities, including climate change and conflict-affected zones, and the interplay with the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD); the second critically evaluates the effectiveness of the OECD NCP mechanism against UN Guiding Principles criteria; the third explores the NCP's broader role in shaping mandatory due diligence obligations.
