Abstract
El proceso de globalización ha creado las condiciones favorables para que las empresas expandan sus actividades y acumulen capital en un contexto sin fronteras económicas. Esto, a su vez, ha supuesto importantes retos para garantizar el disfrute de los derechos humanos y proteger el medio ambiente frente a las actividades empresariales. Esta situación ha dado lugar a diversos instrumentos cuyo objetivo es prevenir y reparar abusos y violaciones de derechos humanos cometidas por las empresas. El presente artículo reflexiona sobre el posible valor añadido de un tratado sobre empresas y derechos humanos para hacer frente al poder y a la impunidad corporativa y sobre cómo encaja un instrumento de esta naturaleza en el contexto de la globalización económica.
Globalization has created the favourable conditions for businesses to expand their activities and to accumulate capital in a context without economic borders. This in turn has raised significant challenges for ensuring the enjoyment of human rights and environmental protection in the context of business activities. Against this background, various instruments have emerged whose objectives are to prevent and to ensure effective access to remedy for victims of human rights abuses and violations committed by businesses. This papers explores the possible added value of a treaty on business and human rights to deal with corporate power and impunity. It also examines how this instrument fits into the context of economic globalization.
