description |
Globalisation has blurred the artificial borders that exist between economies and societies around the world. The activities of corporations in this globalised environment have often served as the catalyst for human rights violations; due to the lack of institutional protection, some corporations are able to exploit regulatory lacunae and the lack of human rights protection. It appears that the paradigmatic change demands an equal emphasis of rights and obligations of corporations. This article discusses and critically analyses corporate human rights obligations and the lack thereof under stabilization clauses in foreign investment contracts. First, stabilization clauses in foreign investment agreements are examined in relation to corporate obligations and responsibility for fundamental human rights. In doing so the substantive and procedural dimension of stabilization clauses is analysed. Second, using the concrete examples of the Mineral Development Agreement between Mittal Steel and the Government of Liberia Mittal Steel Agreement and of the Baku‐Tblisi‐Ceyhan Pipeline Project as case studies, this article considers an application of stabilization clauses in foreign investment contracts in relation to the fundamental human rights obligation of states and of corporations. Third, a proposal for reform in the form of a fundamental human rights clause is introduced. To be clear, the argument here is that the fundamental human rights obligations of investors, particularly of corporations, must be included in foreign investment agreements. |

Las actividades empresariales en este ambiente globalizado ha servido como catalizador de las violaciones de derechos humanos como consecuencia de la ausencia de la protección institucional algunas empresas han explotado los vacíos jurídicos y la falta de protección de los derechos humanos. Al respecto, para lograr un cambio paradigmático requiere un fuerte énfasis en los derechos y las obligaciones de las empresas. Este artículo presenta un análisis crítico de las obligaciones de las empresas en material de derechos humanos frente a la falta de cláusulas de estabilización en los contratos de inversión extranjera. En primer lugar, estas cláusulas son examinadas en relación con la responsabilidad en las obligaciones corporativas con relación a los derechos humanos fundamentales. De acuerdo con lo anterior, se analizan las dimensiones sustantivas y procesales de las cláusulas de estabilización. En segundo lugar, apelando a los ejemplos concretos del Acuerdo para el desarrollo de la Minería entre Mittal Steel y el Gobierno de Liberia, así como el proyecto del Oleoducto de Baku‐Tblisi‐Ceyhan como casos de análisis, este artículo busca la aplicación de las cláusulas de estabilidad en las inversiones extranjeras con relación a la protección de los derechos humanos por parte de los Estados y de las empresas. En tercer lugar, se propone una modificación a la forma como se introduce la cláusula relativa a los derechos humanos. En este orden de ideas, los derechos humanos de los inversionistas, específicamente de las empresas, deben ser incluidos en los acuerdos de inversión extranjera.application/pdf2145-44932027-1131https://repository.urosario.edu.co/handle/10336/15724spaUniversidad del Rosariohttps://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/acdi/article/view/1738https://revistas.urosario.edu.co/index.php/acdi/article/view/1738/1580Derechos de autor 2014 Anuario Colombiano de Derecho Internacional - ACDIAbierto (Texto Completo)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2ACDI - Anuario Colombiano de Derecho Internacional; Vol. 3 (2010): Special Issue; 243 - 273ACDI - Anuario Colombiano de Derecho Internacional; Vol. 3 (2010): Volumen Especial; 243 - 273Annuaire Colombien de Droit International - ACDI; Vol. 3 (2010): Volumen Especial; 243 - 273instname:Universidad del Rosarioreponame:Repositorio Institucional EdocURInvestment LawCorporate Human Rights Obligationsstabilization clausespublic international lawcorporate responsibility for Human rightsobligations of investorsforeign investment contractsfundamental human RightsDerecho de inversionesobligaciones de las empresas en relación con los derechos humanoscláusulas de estabilizaciónderecho internacional públicoresponsabilidad empresarial por derechos humanosobligaciones de los inversionistascontratos de iCorporate Human Rights Obligations and International Investment LawCorporate Human Rights Obligations and International Investment LawarticleArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Letnar Cernic, Jernej10336/15724oai:repository.urosario.edu.co:10336/157242021-08-27 14:36:21.146357http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0Derechos de autor 2014 Anuario Colombiano de Derecho Internacional - ACDIhttps://repository.urosario.edu.coRepositorio institucional EdocURedocur@urosario.edu.co |
