Abstract

This chapter presents a business ethics framework that can be used to determine the moral responsibility that firms have when it comes to human rights. It starts with a discussion of the relatively new phenomenon of firms being sued for human rights violations in developed countries as is shown by the case of Shell. It also discusses when a firm should be considered complicit in a human rights violation, and what duties firms have to promote human rights.
