Resumen

TANGARIFE-PEDRAZA, Mónica Andrea. PRIVATE SECTOR RESPONSIBILITY IN HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES. Int. Law: Rev. Colomb. Derecho Int. [online]. 2008, n.12, pp.145-181. ISSN 1692-8156.

The main objective of this article is to revise the present situation of the enterprises in the light of the human rights issues at the international arena. According to this, it takes into account some political and economical initiatives, like Global Compact and corporate social responsibility, addressed to involve the private sector in public affairs related to society, especially with human rights. Subsequently it focuses on legal aspects, mainly in those that establish the principal aspects of the international responsibility in cases of human rights violations. After the examination of those initiatives and some legal aspects concerned with the international responsibility regime, the main findings were three. The first one referred to the absence of mechanisms that allows the corporations to fit their activities with human rights standards; the second one related to the lack of effective and appropriate resources established to protect the victims against the abuses and violations of human rights, committed by the private sector; and finally, concerned to the non-existence of an international structure that can assume cases which involve the private sector as direct responsible of that kind of acts.

Palabras clave : Drittwirkung; responsibility; corporation; human rights; Global Compact; sphere of influence; Drittwirkung.
