Introduction: Human Rights Responsibilities of States and Non-State Actors

Karp, David Jason; Mills, Kurt

Pages: 3 –22

[The 2005 World Summit recognized the responsibility to protect.

Bódig, Mátyás

The Concept of Human Rights Protection and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

Karp, David Jason

Pages: 137 –158

Correa, Flor González
