摘要

文章利用国际法、不平等和能源正义领域的奖学金,特别是从全球南部和拉丁美洲的角度,与商业和人权文献进行对话。它与Gwynne Skinner关于克服公司侵犯人权司法补救障碍的专著相结合。斯金纳认为,如果这些侵权行为的受害者由于机构薄弱或腐败等因素而无法在侵权行为发生的国家获得补救,那么受害者有权在公司所在国和他们可能开展业务的国家——特别是美国、加拿大和欧洲——获得补救。斯金纳建议在这些国家引入新的立法,以确保其法院根据国际人权法有权审理案件,即使这些案件与论坛国家几乎没有联系。我认为,更强有力的国际法和跨学科方法表明,仅凭国际人权法就为这些建议提供了薄弱的基础。我还反思了支持斯金纳论点的部分叙述,该论点建立了发展中国家法院的负面形象,认为这是不必要的,扩大管辖权的基础应该基于具体而有力的理由。

An Interdisciplinary Dialogue with the Business and Human Rights Literature
The article draws on scholarships in the areas of international law, inequality and energy justice to engage in a dialogue with the business and human rights literature, from the perspective of the global south and Latin America, in particular. It engages with Gwynne Skinner's monograph about overcoming barriers to judicial remedy for corporate abuses of human rights. Skinner argues that if victims of these abuses cannot secure remedy in the countries in which the abuses occur – because of weak or corrupt institutions, among other factors – then the victims have a right to remedy in the home countries of the corporations and in countries in which they may conduct business – specifically, the United States, Canada and Europe. Skinner recommends that new legislation be introduced in these countries to ensure that their courts have jurisdiction to hear cases, under international human rights law, even when the cases have little or no links with the forum countries. I argue that a more robust international law and interdisciplinary approach shows that international human rights law alone provides a weak basis for the recommendations. I also reflect on part of the narrative that supports Skinner's argument, which builds a negative image of the courts in developing countries, to argue that this is unnecessary and that expansions of the bases of jurisdiction should be implemented on specific and stronger reasons.
