Description
Business, Human Rights and Transitional Justice by Irene Pietropaoli explores how transitional justice mechanisms can address corporate human rights abuses. Corporations operating in conflict zones or repressive regimes may inadvertently or deliberately contribute to human rights violations and international crimes. This book examines the development of innovative transitional justice mechanisms that aim to hold corporations accountable for such abuses, providing remedies for victims. It assesses the limitations and potential of various mechanisms, including trials, truth commissions, reparations, and land restitution programs. By analyzing a broad range of literature on international criminal law, regional human rights systems, domestic courts, and other transitional justice frameworks, Pietropaoli evaluates the effectiveness of these approaches in tackling corporate involvement in human rights violations.
