Analysis of the Problems Between International Investment Law and the Protection of Labor Rights of Multinational Companies - A Case Study of "Sweatshop"

Abstract

In recent years, under the influence of economic globalization, the development of international law has also shown a corresponding humanistic trend. That is, while solving problems from the perspective of the country, it also began to pay attention to the protection of the well-being of individual citizens and the whole society. This paper uses the case analysis method to consider the problems between international investment law and the protection of multinational company labor rights and interests by analyzing the specific cases of "sweatshops". In the study of sweatshop cases, the author found four main reasons for the formation and spread of sweatshops, as follows: 1. The management system of enterprises; 2. The supervision of the government and trade unions has not been implemented; 3. Jurisdiction is unclear in international law; 4. The legislation on labor rights is not perfect in international investment law and international trade law. And put forward the corresponding suggestions for the four problems found.
