Produktinformationen ""Corporate Human Rights Responsibility""

Every day, we see countless cases of human rights violations committed by corporations. They range from modern slavery, child labour, up to complicity in war crimes. States should prevent such violations but mostly they are unable or unwilling to do so. Large corporations have inexhaustible resources and their multinational character requires trans-state cooperation. As a result the enforcement of existing norms has proven to be largely inexecutable. The interaction of states, international institutions and civil society has changed dramatically. This globalisation process has created significant challenges. Recent history is full of examples of failure of existing international mechanisms. International conventions and self-binding instruments largely failing in their effectiveness. In this context of new power structures the question is raised if multi-national corporations are beyond the reach of the law? In fact, multi-national corporations possess legal personality and are acknowledged players in international law. This thesis submits that multi-national corporations can be held responsible for human rights violations, based on existing international law.

EU Gewährleistungssiegel

Die EU führt ein verpflichtendes, einheitliches EU-Label zur Information über die gesetzliche Gewährleistung ein, ergänzt durch ein Garantielabel, sofern eine freiwillige Herstellergarantie besteht.

Ziel der neuen Regelung ist es, Verbraucherrechte transparenter darzustellen und europaweit einheitliche Informationsstandards zu schaffen. Verbraucher sollen auf einen Blick erkennen können, welche gesetzlichen Mindeststandards gelten, unabhängig davon, in welchem Land oder bei welchem Händler sie einkaufen.

EU Warranty Label

The European Union is introducing a mandatory, standardized EU label to provide information about consumers’ statutory warranty rights. This will be complemented by a guarantee label where a voluntary manufacturer’s guarantee is offered.

The purpose of this new regulation is to make consumer rights more transparent and to establish consistent information standards across the European Union. Consumers should be able to see at a glance which statutory minimum protections apply, regardless of the country or retailer from which they make a purchase.
