This course introduces students to the field of business and human rights (BHR), including the risks and opportunities multinational corporations (MNCs) face throughout their operations and supply chains with regard to key human rights and labour rights. The course will look at the main sources of international law (such as United Nations Covenants and International Labour Organizations’ Conventions) for these rights, as well as voluntary principles, standards and upcoming legislation setting out the expectation for MNCs to respect human rights. Several practical case studies will be presented and analysed throughout the course to allow students to learn how to identify when and how human rights are abused by MNCs – and how these abuses can be mitigated or remedied.
