Business responsibility for human rights impacts have become subject both to legislation and to court decisionswhenever their activities lead to human rights abuses anywhere in the world.This book shows the importance of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in these developments,and examines their influence on international, regional, and national law.

Each of these shifts has consequences on core tenets of international law, such as sovereignty and jurisdiction, and has implications for crafting new international law in areas such as climate changeand technology.Robert McCorquodale brings his decades of experience in scholarship and legal practice in business and human rights law, as well as his extensive engagement withbusinesses, governments, civil society, and international organisations, to bear on his understanding and analysis of this increasingly important field.
