Remedy for Human Rights Abuses under Tort and International Law

By: Emmanuel K. Nartey

This second volume examines laws relating to the civil liabilities of corporations and states in connection with torts or other breaches of international law and human rights law. It illustrates how particular legal principles or rules can be applied or developed to promote corporate accountability, with legal duties that arise under tort law or statutory law. Businesses operate within particular legal regulatory regimes and also within the framework of obligations imposed in tort law. Such laws aim to shape or constrain behaviour for the protection of others in society. There are also environmental protection laws which aim to prevent the release of noxious or hazardous substances, and occupational health and safety laws for the protection of employees. The law of negligence in tort imposes general obligations on persons to take reasonable care to prevent harm to others in circumstances where there is a duty of care. Companies, as legal persons, are required to comply with such legal obligations. The book looks at the role of courts in upholding human rights obligations and providing a forum to resolve corporate human rights abuses issues. If the state does not regulate a specific issue of corporate human rights violations, then the court will address any lacuna in the domestic law by having recourse to (I) rules of international law; (II) general principles of international human rights law; (III) general principles of human rights law common to the major legal systems of the world; (IV) general principles of law that is in agreement with the fundamental requirements of rule of law, and the protection of human dignity and justice; and (V) the general principle of a duty of care (tort of negligence). The book will help lawyers, scholars, and students to see how corporate human rights violations can involve multiple legal principles.

Ethics and Integrity in the Rule of Law and International Law

By: Emmanuel Nartey

This book examines the ethics and integrity approach to modelling the rule of law and the international law process by investigating different factors that influence legal and governance systems in society. It explores the foundations of the rule of law and international law, and how to overcome the undesirable deficiencies in our legal and governance systems. The approach of this book is carefully designed to briefly demonstrate how including ethics and integrity when dealing with the rule of law and international law could lead to effective legal and governance systems. This book argues that the rule of law does not stand alone; ethics and integrity are the lifeblood of all legal rules and governance systems. This book is of special interest to academics and researchers within the fields of law, social Justice and philosophy.

Accountability and Corporate Human Rights Violations in Tort and International Law

By: Emmanuel K. Nartey

This volume identifies a coherent legal principle in order to establish a novel duty of care for corporate human rights violations and environmental damages. It examines whether tort and civil law offer better accountability and remedies for victims of corporate human rights abuses, and carries out an in-depth and critical analysis of the concept of corporate accountability. Moreover, a fundamental part of this book is devoted to examining the extent to which international criminal law influences international human rights law in its use of tort law and civil law remedies. Finally, the book sets out a theoretical mechanism for duty of care, as well as a proposal for the establishment of a ‘Hybrid International Transnational Corporation Court’ that would have the potential to effectively interpret the concept of the corporate duty of care under tort law.
