UNCLC member, Robert McCorquodale and Stuart Neely, 'Directors Duties and Human Rights Impacts: A Comparative Approach' (2022) Journal of Corporate Legal Studies

This article provides a comparative European perspective on the issue of directors’ liability for actions by a company which causes or contributes to human rights impacts. It examines how international, European and national regulatory developments in business and human rights are influencing company law. It analyses how these developments could lead to an expansion of the scope of director's duties in relation to human rights (and other) impacts of corporate activities.
