Intrinsic Values and Human Rights: Corporate Duties Depend on Industry Values 内在价值与人权:企业责任取决于行业价值

Abstract Drawing on the work of Donaldson and Walsh, this article explains why for-profit companies in industries denominated by intrinsic values such as health, education and justice, have heavier responsibilities when it comes to honouring the human rights reflected in their industry identity. Optimized collective value, the overarching aim of any system of business, is defined in terms of the satisfaction of intrinsic values, a definition that gives special meaning to firms operating in industries themselves defined in terms of intrinsic values. Nor are such companies’ responsibilities to human rights, such as the right to healthcare, conveniently reducible to the ‘enlightened’ pursuit of profit. For example, a pharmaceutical company such as Pfizer or Moderna may be required to make its COVID-19 vaccine more accessible to COVID-19 victims in developing countries at the expense of optimizing profits over the long run. Such companies have a special and mandatory correlative duty to honour the right to healthcare that derives from their corporate constitutional purpose.
本文借鉴Donaldson和Walsh的工作,解释了为什么在以健康、教育和司法等内在价值为主导的行业中,营利性公司在尊重其行业身份所反映的人权方面负有更重的责任。优化集体价值是任何商业体系的首要目标,它是根据内在价值的满足来定义的,这一定义对在以内在价值为定义的行业中运营的企业具有特殊意义。这些公司对人权的责任,如医疗保健权,也不能轻易地归结为对利润的“开明”追求。例如,辉瑞(Pfizer)或Moderna等制药公司可能会被要求让发展中国家的COVID-19患者更容易获得其COVID-19疫苗,而牺牲的是长期利润优化。这些公司有一项特殊和强制性的相关义务,即尊重源于其公司宪法宗旨的医疗保健权利。

The Potential of Arbitration as Effective Remedy in Business and Human Rights: Will the Hague Rules be Enough? 仲裁作为商业和人权的有效救济的潜力:海牙规则就足够了吗?

Abstract The area of business and human rights (BHR) has a gap in its means to effectively remedy human rights violations. In pursuit of implementing the third pillar of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which focuses on providing an effective remedy to rightsholders affected by corporate human rights violations, it has been proposed to utilize arbitration as a new platform to deal with such violations. The Drafting Team that instigated this initiative has prepared a set of procedural rules for BHR arbitration, called the Hague Rules. The Rules were officially launched on 12 December 2019. These arbitral rules are tailored to the specific needs of settling human rights disputes. In this article, the general idea of BHR arbitration will be analysed and assessed in light of the normative concept of ‘effective’ remedy, using the Hague Rules as a focus point. This article will discuss not only what the Hague Rules would introduce to the general concept of BHR arbitration, but also what limitations might still remain in securing an effective remedy.
商业与人权领域在有效补救侵犯人权行为方面存在差距。为了落实《联合国企业与人权指导原则》的第三个支柱,即重点为受企业侵犯人权行为影响的权利持有人提供有效补救,有人提议利用仲裁作为处理此类侵犯行为的新平台。发起这一倡议的起草小组为BHR仲裁制定了一套程序规则,称为《海牙规则》。《规则》于2019年12月12日正式发布。这些仲裁规则是根据解决人权争端的具体需要而制定的。本文将以《海牙规则》为重点,根据“有效”补救的规范概念,对BHR仲裁的总体思路进行分析和评估。本文不仅将讨论《海牙规则》将如何引入BHR仲裁的一般概念,还将讨论在确保有效补救方面可能仍然存在哪些限制。

Abstract Cloud computing underlies many of the most powerful and controversial technologies of our day – from large-scale data processing to face recognition systems – yet the human rights impacts of cloud computing have received little scrutiny. This article explains what cloud computing is, how it works, and what some of its most significant human rights impacts are through three case studies. It offers some initial thoughts on the human rights responsibilities of cloud computing providers under the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and concludes by suggesting directions for future research.
摘要云计算是当今许多最强大、最具争议的技术的基础,从大规模数据处理到人脸识别系统,但云计算对人权的影响很少受到关注。本文通过三个案例研究解释了什么是云计算,它是如何工作的,以及它对人权的一些最重要的影响。它根据《联合国商业与人权指导原则》对云计算提供商的人权责任提出了一些初步想法,并为未来的研究方向提出了建议。

Coca-Cola’s Cape Town Crisis: Examining Companies’ Water Rights Obligations in a Changing Climate 可口可乐的开普敦危机:在气候变化中审视公司的水权义务

While Coca-Cola portrays itself as a ‘water neutrality’ leader, its failures during Cape Town’s water crisis exemplify the changing nature of corporate human rights obligations in the face of climate change. Between 2015 and 2018, drought conditions plunged Cape Town into a crisis, leading to increasingly strict household water restrictions and depriving families of their constitutionally guaranteed water allowance.1 However, in December 2017, when Cape Town officials called for a 45% reduction in commercial water use, Coca-Cola’s local independent bottler – Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages (CCPB) – refused to reduce its 44 million-litre monthly withdrawals.2 The city subjected households to water restrictions and price increases up to 556%, while businesses only saw a 104% price increase with no consumption restrictions.3
尽管可口可乐将自己描绘成“水中和”的领导者,但其在开普敦水危机期间的失败表明,面对气候变化,企业人权义务的性质正在发生变化。2015年至2018年间,干旱状况使开普敦陷入危机,导致家庭用水限制越来越严格,并剥夺了家庭宪法保障的用水补贴。1然而,2017年12月,当开普敦官员呼吁将商业用水减少45%时,可口可乐当地的独立装瓶商——可口可乐半岛饮料公司(CCPB)——拒绝减少每月4400万升的提款量。2该市对家庭实施了用水限制,价格上涨了556%,而企业在没有消费限制的情况下只上涨了104%。3

This piece uses the Doce River case (2015) to illustrate the gendered impacts of the failure of corporate human rights due diligence. We also ask the question: would the Gender Dimensions of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights1 (Gender Guidance) have made a difference to the way women were treated in preventive measures taken and in the application of redress mechanisms? Taking this specific case, we seek to illustrate the importance of integrating gender into international business and human rights (BHR) frameworks if women’s rights are to be protected and respected in the context of business activities.
这篇文章使用Doce River案例(2015)来说明企业人权尽职调查失败对性别的影响。我们还提出这样一个问题:《工商业与人权指导原则1(性别指导)》的性别层面是否对采取预防措施和适用补救机制方面对待妇女的方式产生了影响?以这一具体案例为例,我们试图说明,如果要在商业活动中保护和尊重妇女权利,就必须将性别纳入国际商业和人权框架。

Reclaiming the Human Rights Foundations of the UN Standards of Conduct for Business on Tackling Discrimination against LGBTI People 恢复《联合国商业行为标准》关于解决对LGBTI人群歧视的人权基础
IF 2.2 Q3 BUSINESS Pub Date : 2022-02-01 DOI: 10.1017/bhj.2021.32
A. Lyons, Cooper Christiancy
Abstract The business and human rights field and the international LGBTI human rights agenda have evolved almost entirely separately. The United Nations ‘Standards of Conduct for Business on Tackling Discrimination against LGBTI People’ (2017) is the primary effort to bridge this gap. Although drafted in a way that strongly aligns with the second pillar of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights on corporate responsibility, the dissemination of the Standards has mainly been untethered from the human rights framework and system. This article identifies the need to reassert the human rights foundations of the Standards and leverage their existing momentum to set out a more robust research and policy agenda for meaningfully accounting for sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics in business and human rights frameworks. To that end, the article sets out priority areas for greater attention from researchers, decision-makers and advocates.
商业和人权领域和国际LGBTI人权议程几乎完全分开发展。联合国《关于解决歧视LGBTI人群的商业行为标准》(2017年)是弥合这一差距的主要努力。虽然《标准》的起草方式与《联合国工商业与人权指导原则》关于企业责任的第二支柱非常一致,但标准的传播主要不受人权框架和制度的限制。本文认为有必要重申《标准》的人权基础,并利用其现有势头,制定更强有力的研究和政策议程,以便在商业和人权框架中有意义地考虑性取向、性别认同和表达以及性特征。为此,这篇文章列出了研究人员、决策者和倡导者需要更多关注的优先领域。

The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, Women and Digital ID in Kenya: A Decolonial Perspective 联合国关于肯尼亚商业与人权、妇女和数字身份的指导原则:非殖民化视角
IF 2.2 Q3 BUSINESS Pub Date : 2022-02-01 DOI: 10.1017/bhj.2021.60
Grace Mutung’u
Abstract Inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the international development community is driving digital ID programmes in low and middle income countries (LMICs) such as Kenya. Kenya has had experience with state-issued identity registration such as that proposed in digital ID programmes for over a century. Identity registration has gendered impacts, stemming from the historical exclusion of women in the system, lack of recognition of their contribution to new uses of the system, as well as lack of engagement with women regarding remedies. Digital ID risks continuing and exacerbating these injustices, as it is based on the existing system. This article uses the ‘protect, respect, remedy’ framework of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to analyse how decolonial approaches could be applied in digital ID to untangle it from colonial legacies, check the ever-increasing power of businesses involved in digital ID systems, and broaden intersectional understanding of human rights.
受可持续发展目标(sdg)的启发,国际发展界正在肯尼亚等低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)推动数字身份证项目。一个多世纪以来,肯尼亚就有过由国家颁发身份登记的经验,比如在数字身份证项目中提出的身份登记。身份登记具有性别影响,这是由于妇女历来被排除在该制度之外,她们对该制度新用途的贡献得不到承认,以及在补救措施方面缺乏与妇女的接触。数字身份有可能继续并加剧这些不公正,因为它是基于现有系统的。本文利用《联合国工商业与人权指导原则》的“保护、尊重、补救”框架,分析如何将非殖民化方法应用于数字身份,将其从殖民遗产中解脱出来,检查参与数字身份系统的企业日益增长的权力,并扩大对人权的交叉理解。

From Formalism to Feminism: Gender, Business and Human Rights 从形式主义到女权主义:性别、商业与人权

Abstract This special issue uses feminist perspectives to explore the field of business and human rights (BHR). Gendered inequalities, based on embodied, assigned or presumed gender identities and sexual orientations, have long been eclipsed from international law; the same has occurred in BHR. Rarely is gender addressed holistically to fully encompass the systemic discrimination and deep-seated patriarchal and neo-colonial structures that create and perpetuate inequalities. The contributions in this special issue challenge both the absence of attention to gender in BHR as well as conventional approaches used to address gendered inequalities within BHR discourses and frameworks. Three recurring themes characterize the special issue: (1) bodies and embodiment; (2) women’s positionality in the marketplace; and (3) borderlessness. Collectively, the contributions proffer feminist approaches to BHR that embed gender justice as foundational, rather than an afterthought.
摘要本期特刊以女性主义视角探讨商业与人权(BHR)领域。基于具体的、指定的或假定的性别认同和性取向的性别不平等,长期以来一直被国际法所掩盖;在BHR中也发生了同样的情况。很少对性别问题进行全面处理,以完全涵盖造成和延续不平等的系统性歧视以及根深蒂固的父权制和新殖民主义结构。本期特刊中的贡献挑战了BHR中对性别的关注不足,以及BHR话语和框架中用于解决性别不平等问题的传统方法。这期特刊有三个反复出现的主题:(1)身体和化身;(2) 妇女在市场中的地位;以及(3)无边界。总的来说,这些贡献为BHR提供了女权主义方法,将性别公正作为基础,而不是事后考虑。

Collectively, the contributions proffer feminist approaches to BHR that embed gender justice as foundational, rather than an afterthought.","PeriodicalId":9399,"journal":{"name":"Business and Human Rights Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"1 - 11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49405123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract In this paper I use South Africa as a reference point to discuss the company as a juristic person and its relationship to natural persons through the concepts of subjectivity and personhood. I do this in an attempt to reveal that granting of juristic personality as ‘the company’ is not a neutral, organic or inevitable product of the law and economy but a construct symbiotically bound to the colonial state. Underlying this juristic personhood is colonial ideology which perpetuates racialized and gendered poverty and inequality as systemic oppression, in order to deliberately facilitate and maintain conditions of domination and exploitation. Rather than taking the conventional business and human rights starting point that accepts the corporate structure without critique, it is argued that by reorienting away from juristic personality as purportedly ‘neutral’ and reframing the construct, the powers of the company might be curtailed, thereby interrupting these continuing colonial logics.
摘要本文以南非为参考点,通过主体性和人格性的概念来讨论公司作为法人及其与自然人的关系。我这样做是为了揭示,作为“公司”授予法人资格并不是法律和经济的中立、有机或不可避免的产物,而是一种与殖民国家共生的结构。这种法人身份的基础是殖民意识形态,它将种族化和性别化的贫困和不平等永久化为系统性压迫,目的是故意促进和维持统治和剥削的条件。有人认为,与其从传统的商业和人权出发点不加批判地接受公司结构,不如通过将法人定位为所谓的“中立”并重新构建结构,公司的权力可能会被削弱,从而中断这些持续的殖民逻辑。
