Featured Project I: Human Rights in Business Practices A. Overview The growing business activities beyond the national borders and rapidly expanding influence of multinational corporations over the global economy have made the issue of business enterprises and human rights an important global policy agenda since the 1990. With the enhanced social awareness of the influence of business enterprises over human rights, the international community including the United Nations and the OECD has sought various measures for the prevention and remedy of the human rights violations by business enterprises. It is notable that the United Nations Human Rights Council adopted the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in June 2013. The Guiding Principles covers three main points: the duties of the state to protect human rights, the responsibility of business to respect human rights, and establishment of remedial action against human rights violations.
