Our Review
This scholarly collection examines how National Contact Point cases within the OECD framework are shaping the legal understanding of corporate human rights responsibilities, offering a focused analysis of the actors, issues, and remedies involved. The book's first section delves specifically into how these quasi-judicial proceedings interpret the duties of corporations, including the often-overlooked role of financial institutions. It provides a granular look at the evolving jurisprudence emerging from this unique accountability mechanism, making complex legal processes accessible to those studying international business and human rights law.
What distinguishes this work is its empirical grounding in actual case law, moving beyond theoretical frameworks to show how principles are applied in practice. The inclusion of financial institutions as a specific focus adds a crucial, contemporary dimension, addressing the growing demand for accountability in the investment and lending sectors. Law students, legal practitioners, and corporate compliance officers will find this an indispensable resource for understanding the practical enforcement of corporate human rights standards, offering a clear window into a rapidly developing area of transnational regulation.
