Alexandra Gatto identifies the primary obligations of MNEs as developed by international law, and investigates how the EU has promoted the respect of human rights obligations by the MNEs to date. \u003cp\u003eThe significant gap between the EU's commitment to the respect and promotion of human rights, the potential to regulate the conduct of MNEs, and the EU's reluctance to impose human rights obligations on MNEs, is thoroughly explored. It is suggested that the current human rights law should be developed, and this timely book recommends that the EU should firmly link the promotion of MNEs' human rights obligations to international human rights law, thereby supporting the constitution of an international law framework within the UN. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMultinational Enterprises and Human Rights\u003c\/i\u003e will be of very great interest to scholars of EU or International Human Rights as well as NGOs and policy makers in international organizations and corporations that support corporate social responsibility and human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e Introduction Part I: Multinational Enterprises and Human Rights: The International Legal Framework 1.
