Abstract

Transnational Corporations (TCs) are one of the principal participating in the political, social and economic contemporary world. These corporations have put out desire and appropriate achievements, as well as harmful disorders in Human Rights domains. The latter, has led to a disputed issue in international law. Do the TCs have any Human Rights obligations? In response to this question, two main approaches have been formed. The first approach, is the ethical approach which argues that Human Rights as a priori fundamental ethical obligations are assignable to all entities including TCs. The second approach is institutional approach which contends that Human Rights are those rights that have been listed in Human Rights Declaration and subsequent international instruments and contemplates that States are considered to be principal duty bearers towards Human Rights obligations. According to the latter approach, the lack of direct assignment of Human Rights obligations to TCs is a more appropriate way to protect these rights. This article examines both approaches and at the same time it pays attention to the documents of the Human Rights Council which has produced many documents in this respect. This article concludes that although TCs have Human Rights obligations, States are still being considered direct duty bearers towards Human Rights obligations.
