Question

Argue conceptually why and when multinational firms can be liable for violating human rights in their foreign business operations.

Answer 1

Human rights are the basis or natural right of the humans. These are the rights with which humans are born with. Its not new to the world thar firm/company/corporations cares only about the profit as they ain't running charity, but when these firms/companies/corporations Starts exploiting the workers then they violates the human Rights.

For example : hiring child labour, not giving equal remuneration, not paying equally to men and women, not hirng a woman because of gender or not paying for the work done.

These are some examples when the multinational firms/companies/corporations are liable for violating human rights.
