Extracting Accountability from Non-State Actors in International Law (eBook, PDF)

Assessing the Scope for Direct Regulation

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The human rights abuses are often committed by powerful non-State actors including multinational enterprises and non-State armed groups. This book examines this phenomena in resource-rich, weak governance States where these groups are involved in resource extracting industries. The book explores the failure of the dominant State-centric accountability regime to regulate these groups and instead establishes an alternative theoretical framework based on Hans Kelsen's Pure Theory of Law which would allow for a legal system in which non-State actors are regulated directly.
