A una década de los principios rectores sobre las empresas y los derechos humanos
Author: Miguel Barboza López

Category :
Languages : es
Pages : 0
Book Description
La adopción de los Principios Rectores sobre las empresas y los derechos humanos en 2011 y su respaldo por el Consejo de Derechos Humanos de Naciones Unidas marcó un hito en la agenda histórica de las empresas y los derechos humanos, pues estableció una plataforma de acción internacional centrada en las obligaciones de los Estados respecto de las actividades empresariales, la responsabilidad de las empresas de respetar los derechos humanos, y la necesidad de contar con mecanismos efectivos de acceso a la justicia para las personas afectadas por la actividad empresarial. Tras su primera década de implementación, hay avances notorios en la agenda de empresas y derechos humanos a nivel global, regional y nacional, pero también importantes desafíos para Estados, empresas, organizaciones de la sociedad civil y otras partes interesadas. La presente obra plantea una serie de reflexiones a diez años de distancia, evaluando la utilidad de los Principios Rectores en diferentes espacios y dinámicas, su evolución normativa y práctica, y proponiendo líneas de acción en diferentes temáticas desde una perspectiva latinoamericana.

Human Rights and Environmental Sustainability in State-Owned Enterprises
Author: Judith Schönsteiner
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040132111
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
This book presents case studies on the human rights performance of state-owned enterprises from four Latin American and three European countries, as well as foreign investments by Chinese state-owned enterprises on these continents. State-owned enterprises are considered among some of the worst perpetrators of contamination and corporate human rights violations around the globe, both domestically and abroad. This volume examines whether companies implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and how their state owners regulate or incentivize their human rights compliance. Studies cover different sectors ranging from finance to extractives and air transport in Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, and Mexico and allow contrasts between companies from countries with different degrees of human rights regulation, including due diligence and supply chain laws. The work shows that states are rather hesitant to implement the UN Guiding Principles “leading by example.” The book will be essential reading for academics, researchers, and policy-makers working in the areas of international human rights law, comparative administrative law, and corporate social responsibility.

Decolonizing Law
Author: Sujith Xavier
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100039655X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
This book brings together Indigenous, Third World and Settler perspectives on the theory and practice of decolonizing law. Colonialism, imperialism, and settler colonialism continue to affect the lives of racialized communities and Indigenous Peoples around the world. Law, in its many iterations, has played an active role in the dispossession and disenfranchisement of colonized peoples. Law and its various institutions are the means by which colonial, imperial, and settler colonial programs and policies continue to be reinforced and sustained. There are, however, recent and historical examples in which law has played a significant role in dismantling colonial and imperial structures set up during the process of colonization. This book combines usually distinct Indigenous, Third World and Settler perspectives in order to take up the effort of decolonizing law: both in practice and in the concern to distance and to liberate the foundational theories of legal knowledge and academic engagement from the manifestations of colonialism, imperialism and settler colonialism. Including work by scholars from the Global South and North, this book will be of interest to academics, students and others interested in the legacy of colonial and settler law, and its overcoming.

International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251091870
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 37
Book Description
The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

The North American Mosaic

ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
