Childrens Rights and Business

Childrens Rights and Business: Governing Obligations and Responsibility is a comprehensive legal inquiry into childrens rights and business. Relying on insights from various disciplines, the book illustrates the need for a children-focused inquiry on business and human rights. An analysis of the norm legalization process around the regulation of business and human rights, particularly of childrens rights follows the inquiry into existing hard and soft law regulatory frameworks on childrens rights and business. The book goes on to evaluate the promise of these frameworks in light of globalized business transactions through the lens of in-depth case illustrations on childrens rights in cotton and mineral supply chains and childrens rights in large-scale energy and transport investment projects. Finally, it concludes with a normative outlook on governing the childrens rights obligations of businesses and responsibility when violations occur, drawing on global governance approaches.
