About The Book

<p>In recent decades corporations have increasingly accepted that they have obligations to respect the socio-economic rights of individuals whose rights to livelihoods education food health housing and water are affected by the actions of corporations on a daily basis. Despite this it is often difficult for victims to bring corporations to court for violations of their socio-economic rights. Domestic constitutional systems provide at best fragile and limited protections against adverse corporate activities while international responses have been lacking in creating obligations and accountability for corporations under socio-economic rights. The urgency of bolstering corporate accountability for socio-economic rights is therefore apparent.</p><p></p><p>In light of this this book asks whether corporations are required to observe socio-economic rights and if they are accountable for any violations. In doing so it identifies and analyzes the theoretical foundations and the existing scope of corporate accountability arising from socio-economic rights at both national and international levels. Through careful analysis Jernej Letnar ?erni? exposes the stark need for greater clarity in the obligations and accountability of corporations advocating a normative framework for corporate accountability for socio-economic rights in national legal orders which builds on existing mechanisms.</p>
