Abstract

At the request of the editors of the Transnational Law Review, I have been asked to introduce a triad of articles addressing corporate and nation-state responsibility for human rights during infrastructure and resource development. New conflicts have arisen around international commerce. The overarching question raised by these articles is: to what degree, when doing business-as-usual in a country that has not implemented protection of human rights as part of domestic law, do other frameworks and guidelines impose legal obligations or liability on those conducting economic activity?
