Editorial Reviews
Review
“…De Schutter has succeeded in putting together a coherent book by approaching the issue along four avenues through which the impunity of corporations for human rights violations may be addressed…” —Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights, Vol 26/3
“This book gives an account of the different ways by which these new ‘masters of the universe’ can now be held bound by human rights obligations, with the different themes in the book being drawn together very well in the editor’s interesting introduction.” —European Human Rights Law Review 2
“…contains contributions solely on the topic of corporations – themost important challenge the international community is facing.” —Leiden Journal of International Law, 22-1
