Corporate social responsibility, human rights and the law: multinational corporations in developing countries

book
posted on 2023-06-08, 22:33 authored by Femi Amao
The control of multinational corporations is an area of law that has attracted immense attention both at national and international level. The book discusses the current trend by MNCs to self-regulate by employing voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy. Olufemi Amao argues that the CSR concept is insufficient to deal with externalities emanating from MNCs’ operations, including human rights violations. Amao maintains that for CSR to be effective, the law must engage with the concept. In particular, he examines how the law can be employed to achieve this goal. While noting that the control of MNCs involves regulation at the international level, it is argued that more emphasis needs to be placed on possibilities at home, in States and host States where there are stronger bases for the control of corporations.
