What Role for Human Rights in Business?

The Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) were endorsed by the United Nations Human Rights Council in June 2011, following the six‐year mandate of the Special Representative to the Secretary General (SRSG) on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises. The SRSG developed a framework comprised of three pillars: (1) States have a duty to protect against human rights abuses committed by third parties, including business enterprises; (2) business enterprises have a responsibility to respect human rights; and (3) victims of business‐related human rights abuses need access to effective remedies. In particular, guiding principle (GP) 11 provides that business enterprises should respect human rights, that is, they should avoid infringing on the human rights of others and address adverse human rights impacts with which they are involved. This article considers the implications of the Guiding Principles' framework for business; the continuing role of conventional accountability mechanisms in providing access to remedy for victims under the third pillar of the framework; and developments in ‘hard law', with a particular focus on the approach by the UK, since the introduction of the UNGPs, before turning, briefly, to the future for business and human rights.     

英国的不法交易规则研究

公司濒临破产时，股东的利益与债权人利益出现分野，董事如何行事即成为焦点之所在。英国的不法交易规则模式的适用要件、法律构造等均堪完备，为处理该问题的典型立法例，对于我国填补这方面的法律空白有重要的示范意义和可移植价值。并且，我国当前的制度架构具备引进该制度的现实条件，可考虑进行法律移植。     

论公司社会责任的司法实践——从公益诉讼角度谈我国公司社会责任司法实践的完善

公司社会责任是公司在追求利润最大化的同时对社会应尽的责任。我国公司社会责任的实体法规定相对完善,而在诉讼法领域却一直缺少与实体规定相对应的救济程序,导致公司违反社会责任,对社会公共利益构成危害时没有合适的诉讼程序对其进行追究,因此,构建公益诉讼程序应是完善我国公司社会责任司法实践的重要步骤。依据我国具体国情,应从立法和实务操作上分别着手,改革我国的诉讼结构,构建公益诉讼制度,以期增加公司社会责任的可诉性,把公司社会责任真正落实到司法实践中。

论挂靠集体企业的法人资格及其债务承担

挂靠集体企业不具备法律规定的法人成立的必要条件 ,因而不具备法人资格。挂靠集体企业的投资经营者应对企业的债务承担无限责任 ,如果被挂靠单位以自己的名义申办集体企业法人营业执照等违法行为与债权人的债权不能受清偿之间有因果关系 ,也应承担无限连带责任。     

按共同治理原则构建国有企业的治理模式

传统公司治理理论在单一委托—代理框架内强调股东主权以解决所有者与经营者之间的利益冲突。随着人力资本产权理论、利益相关理论和企业社会责任理论兴起 ,尤其是 2 0世纪 80年代在美国兴起的恶意收购浪潮和反收购立法运动 ,人们对传统公司治理的经济学逻辑产生怀疑 ,共同治理原则开始孕育并日益为人们所接受。按照共同治理原则 ,我国国有企业的治理模式关键是在扬弃股东至上原则的基础上确认共同治理主体 ,建立有效的共同治理机制。     

Fragmented or cohesive transnational private regulation of sustainability standards? A comparative study

Literature on private regulation recognizes the proliferation of competing regulatory organizations and approaches in various industries. Studies analyzing why fragmentation arises so far focus on single‐case studies, the exploration of single variables, or variation in types of fragmentation. This article analyzes why in certain industries and for certain issues regulatory organizations proliferate, while in others a single regulatory organization emerges which covers the entire industry. Through a comparative case study of private regulation of sustainability standards in the forestry, clothing, IT‐electronics, and chemicals industries, we show how a combination of low industrial concentration, civil society involvement in governance, and stringent standards of a first‐moving regulator offer the strongest explanation for a fragmented private regulatory field, while high industrial concentration, business‐driven governance, and lenient standards of a first‐moving regulator lead to cohesive regulation.     

关于完善企业法人治理结构的法律思考

企业法人的治理结构是一个世界性的研究和实践课题。在中国国有企业改革过程中,构筑良好的企业法人治理结构和机制已成为建立现代企业法律制度的核心。我国现行的《公司法》作为企业法人发展的保障,已不能满足企业发展的要求,亟待加以修改和完善。
