Victims of human rights violations and abuses frequently
face significant challenges when seeking remedy. This book explores the
challenges involved in securing an effective remedy in cases where
multinational companies are perpetrators of human rights abuse or are
complicit in violations committed by State actors. It focuses on four
emblematic cases and exposes how corporate, political and financial
power, intertwined with specific legal obstacles, allow companies to
evade accountability and deny, or severely curtail, a victim’s right to
remedy.
