Economic Actors and the Limits of Transitional Justice: Truth and Justice for Business Complicity in Human Rights Violations: Proceedings of the British Academy

Editat de Leigh A. Payne, Laura Bernal-Bermúdez, Gabriel Pereira
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 ian 2022
The rights of victims to truth, justice, reparations and guarantees of non-repetition when businesses are involved in past and present abuses are seldom guaranteed. A legacy of impunity has prevailed globally in which economic actors have incurred few legal or financial (indemnity) costs for violating behaviour. Examining cases in Nazi Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Perú, the Philippines and South Africa, this edited volume traces business accountability efforts. It identifies the tools applicable to different country contexts that have facilitated corporate accountability for human rights violations, while also flagging the barriers that persist. This volume presents the past and the present of accountability for corporations complicit in gross human rights violations, and also considers what the future may hold.
