Course Content
This seminar examines the impact of the activities of Multinational Enterprises on the enjoyment of human rights and social rights, the ability of international law and European Union law to protect and to realize them. Specifically, the seminar will discuss: the voluntary and legally binding mechanisms through which MNEs are made accountable for human rights violations they commit or encourage, or in which they share complicity; the European Union internal and external policies which address multinational enterprises or the countries where they operate.
