Research on the Regulation of Human Rights Responsibility of Multinational Companies

Abstract

With the development of economic globalization, the status of multinational corporations is constantly improving. Multinational corporations play an increasingly important role in promoting global economic development, profoundly influencing the development of the global economic and political landscape. While promoting economic development, transnational corporations also violate human rights, such as squeezing labor, polluting the environment, and endangering the right to life, health and development of the people in the host country. In this context, analyzing the human rights issues of multinational corporations is important. The article adopts case analysis, historical analysis, and literature analysis methods to analyze the human rights responsibilities of multinational corporations, The article explores the definition, origin, and theoretical basis of human rights responsibility of multinational corporations, as well as the reasons for their human rights violations. At the same time, suggestions are proposed from international regulations, host countries, home countries, and enterprises themselves to regulate the human rights violations committed by multinational corporations, promoting them to actively assume human rights responsibilities.
