Abstract

Globalisation generated the multinational corporations. As the movement for the protection of human rights intensified, it reached the activities of the large corporations which quite often disregard the human rights. In this context, the responsibilities of the states are no longer limited to positive or negative obligations in their relations with the citizens, but they include efforts for protecting human rights in relationships between private individuals. The paper presents some of the infringements that are associated with business activities and the solutions promoted by international organisms. International documents promoting principles and proposing measures in the area of soft law, European solutions and national legislation are presented. The article also looks into new rights in the field of human rights shaped by the progress of information and technology in business such as the right to be forgotten by the internet, the right to the protection of personal data and rights associated to the copy-right.
