Handbook on Business, Human Rights, and the Environment in Africa

Beschreibung

This handbook provides an essential reference to the pivotal and dynamic field of business and human rights from an African perspective. Grounded in human rights frameworks, it presents the status quo of the prevailing fundamental and intersectional issues related to business and human rights regulation in Africa. The handbook covers topics such as land and institutional governance, corporate social responsibility, and gender issues as some of the main themes and offers practical regulatory solutions based on doctrinal, empirical, and comparative methods. Exploring the intersection of business and human rights deepens our understanding of the legal, policy,  and regulatory challenges involved and clarifies how and to what extent human rights concerns are addressed in Africa, a continent often marked by human rights violations by multinational corporations. It is hoped that the solutions provided here will help advance policy, regulatory, and legal developments related to business and human rights in Africa.
