This article deals with the process of creating a convention in the field of human rights, the working name of which is the ‘International Legally Binding Instrument on Business and Human Rights’. The author analyses the existing legal grounds for the responsibility of business for human rights violations in international law. She has assessed non-binding instruments, leading her to draw the conclusion that mechanisms strengthening protection are required in human rights protection law. The process of the creation of a new convention itself is subjected to an in-depth review. A special place is given to the issue of the position of a victim of human rights violations committed as a result of the activity of transnational enterprises, the rights of the victims of such violations and the mechanisms of international cooperation in the combatting thereof. In the conclusion the author states that human rights require actions that move beyond existing divisions, and that the work of the intergovernmental group led by Ecuador should be seriously supported by the European Union and the United States.

起草具有国际法律约束力的商业与人权文书:加强人权保护的下一步

本文涉及制定人权领域公约的过程,其工作名称是“具有法律约束力的国际商业与人权文书”。作者分析了国际法中企业对侵犯人权行为承担责任的现有法律依据。她评估了不具约束力的文书,从而得出结论,人权保护法需要加强保护的机制。制定新公约的过程本身要经过深入审查。由于跨国企业的活动而侵犯人权的受害者的地位问题被给予特殊地位,此类侵权行为受害者的权利以及打击此类侵权行为的国际合作机制。作者在结论中指出,人权需要超越现有分歧的行动,而以厄瓜多尔为首的政府间小组的工作应得到欧盟和美国的认真支持。
