Corporate Accountability

The Role and Impact of Non-Judicial Grievance Mechanisms

Karin Lukas, Senior Researcher and Head of Department, Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Fundamental and Human Rights, Austria and President, European Committee of Social Rights, Barbara Linder, Austrian Development Bank, Astrid Kutrzeba, Kpunkt Training GmbH and Claudia Sprenger, Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights, Austria

Whilst many of us would agree that human rights are more important than corporate profits, the reality is often different; such realities as child labour and environmental destruction caused by corporate activities make this patently clear. Recognising that balancing human rights and business interests can be problematic, Corporate Accountability considers the limits of existing complaint mechanisms and examines non-judicial alternatives for conflict resolution.

‘The book will be very useful for lawyers, academics, companies and for those who have an interest in business and human rights.’
