description This open access book examines the role played by international, regional and national legal frameworks in holding corporations operating in the natural resource sector accountable for human rights violations in the Global South. Influential scholars from across the world address pressing issues concerning the integration of business and human rights standards for better governance of natural resources. They focus particularly on extractive and multinational companies in the Global South and their role in the transition to net zero societies. The book also examines legal mechanisms for corporate accountability under international, human rights and transnational law, using case studies from selected countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. The book reviews proposals for an enforceable legal framework to hold corporations accountable for human rights abuses and environmental damage. It considers initiatives such as the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the UN’s Draft Business and Human Rights Treaty, and the European Union Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. The book is essential reading for researchers working in the fields of business and human rights law, natural resources law, environmental law and international law, as well as corporate and human rights practitioners litigating in the energy and natural resources sectors.
