Course Content / Plan
Structure of the Course / Schedule授業の構成・計画
Unless agreed otherwise in the first session, this seminar will be structured as follows.
1. Understanding the concept of CSR in international law (5 sessions)
This includes examination of the following materials.
- Draft United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations
- The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
- Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact
- The ILO Declaration
- OHCHR, Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
2. Examination and discussion on how to make corporations accountable to their conduct in domestic law (5 sessions)
These sessions discuss, in particular, US cases under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) in which attempts to pursue MNE’s responsibilities in US courts have been made (and mostly failed). These sessions also examine the following materials:
- 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
- Ronen Shamir, ‘Between Self-Regulation and the Alien Tort Claims Act: On the Contested Concept of Corporate Social Responsibility’ Law & Society Review, Vol. 38, No. 4 (Dec., 2004), pp. 635-664
3. 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.
