| 授業の目的 【日本語】 | | | | | 授業の目的 【英語】 | | Purpose and Description
This seminar will serve as a forum of students who are interested in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and international principles. The aim of this course is for students to obtain both the knowledge of principles on corporate responsibility and the skills which will enable them to analyze how to secure responsible conduct of corporations – both MNEs and SMEs – as well as analyse the role of these corporations in achieving sustainable development.
Achievement Target
Students will obtain a good understanding of the history, background and development of the concept of CSR in the interntional law context. Students will also be able to critically analyse the reasons for the lack of effective mechanism to control the conduct of MNEs in the international community. |

OHCHR, Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
Examination and discussion on how to make corporations accountable to their conduct in domestic law (5 sessions)

David Scheffer and Caroline Kaeb, ‘The Five Levels of CSR Compliance: The Resiliency of Corporate Liability under the Alien Tort Statute and the Case for a Counterattack Strategy in Compliance Theory’ 29(1) Berkeley Journal of International Law (2011) pp. 334-397

Examination and discussion on how to make corporations and states accountable to the conduct of corporations in international law (5 sessions)
These sessions examine the current development concerning corporate (private persons) responsibility in international law, in particular the drafting process of the so-called “zero draft” within the UN. International cases in the European Court of Human Rights, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in which the court/commission found the relevant state’s responsibility arising from its failure to regulate corporations’ activities which caused human rights violations will be also discussed.
Students are required to prepare for and make presentations on given topics in each session.
