기업의 인권존중 책임에 관한 검토- 국제기준을 중심으로 -

Abstract

It is not easy to expect companies to voluntarily implement their responsibility for respecting human rights. The international community has made efforts to institutionalize corporate responsibility for human rights. One of the efforts is that it is most effective to establish an international treaty imposing surveillance and enforcement obligations on governments in order to ensure that enterprises comply thoroughly with international standards. This approach has the advantage of being able to set the issue of corporate human rights as a matter of specific rights violations, not of ethical choice, but it is necessary to reconsider whether legislation is the only alternative to the management of corporate human rights. Legislation that is compulsory in the international community is difficult to set as an agenda in reality and difficult to implement. And member states may be reluctant to join this institutionalization. But according to the method of acculturation, Companies are not persuaded internally, but they can not withstand social pressure, so they can adapt to social trends and change their behavior. As John Ruggie, who reported UNGPs, noted, the basis for corporate responsibility to respect the human rights is that there are social expectations that the international community believes that businesses should do so, and I think this is no different from social pressure, the mechanism of methods of acculturation. There seems to be no further discussion on whether companies are responsible for respect for human rights. The remaining challenge is how to get companies to fulfill these responsibilities. Our companies should now accept responsibility to respect the human rights or social expectations for human rights management. In addition, apart from creating international standards for the implementation of corporate responsibility to respect the human rights, the government's policy efforts for corporate responsibility to respect the human rights, and the willingness and execution of companies to actively implement the responsibility to respect the human rights move together. The responsibility to respect the human rights will be realized.
