Multinacionalne kompanije u međunarodnom pravu

Abstract

: in the world economy today, multinational companies (MNCs), which by their nature are created by pooling capital to make as much profit as possible, play an increasingly important role. When we talk about phenomena such as globalization and integration of business on the world market, they cannot be imagined without MNCs, which are both a consequence and a driver of these processes. These companies make big profits, and their business transcends national borders and national regulations. By their actions, MNCs bring complexity to the economic and legal relations and their regulations. Some MNCs appear in the world economy and international law as extremely powerful non-state actors. Given that some MNCs are even economically stronger than many countries in the world, they seek to obtain numerous concessions from countries through the establishment of mutual relations, as well as through other legal regulations. Also, in order to gain as much profit as possible, they direct and influence the work of international organizations. in that way, MNCs are currently one of the most powerful subjects of modern international economic relations, and they are trying to gain that position in the legal regulations as well. The aim of this paper is to analyze the position of MNCs in the international community and especially international law, but also the issue of international legal regulation of MNCs, the violations of international law and frameworks for their responsibility, as well as the elements of international legal subjectivity.
