> The South Centre is pleased to announce the publication of Policy Brief No. 30
> entitled "Approaching States¹ Obligations Under a Prospective Legally Binding
> Instrument on TNCs and Other Business Enterprises In Regard to Human Rights"
> by Kinda Mohamadieh of the South Centre. This brief discusses possible
> approaches to addressing States¹ obligations under a prospective international
> legally binding instrument to regulate, in international human rights law, the
> activities of transnational corporations and other business enterprises.The
> duty of the State to protect against human rights violations by private
> entities and to ensure remedies for victims of such violations is well
> established under international human rights law. Yet, given the globalized
> and rapidly evolving economic realities driven by multinational corporations,
> individual States often face limitations in their ability to respond to human
> rights violations by private entities and to exercise their sovereign right to
> regulate. A prospective Instrument could serve as an opportunity to address
> these limitations and enhance international cooperation in this area. To
