Legal developments relating to the protection of human rights are not limited to the activities of persons who act on behalf of governmental authorities. It is possible to encounter cases between private persons which may be defined as human rights violations and the law should also function in this area. So, the legal discipline, “human rights law”, should consider this fact. The course “Human Rights in the Business World” aims to discuss the international legal standards on protecting human rights in establishing, managing or ending business relations with special reference to existent cases at the national or transnational level. In this course, the effects of globalization on national and international business relations will also be discussed in the light of the existent or developing international human rights norms.

It is inevitable to think about the nature of today’s business relations first. On the other hand, it is another phenomenon that today’s business relations which transborders the state territory got a global character. So, from human rights angle, it is also needed to be discussed the business relations which are under the influence of globalization. In this atmosphere in which the market phenomenon and the human rights and freedoms encounters, pure ‘market regulation’ policy without having a vision regarding the protection of human rights is also be critically discussed. In this course, recent institutional developments and initiatives and the related applications for standard-setting within international organizations like the UN will also be immensely covered.
