Hardcover. The rights of victims to truth, justice, reparations and guarantees of non-repetition when businesses are involved in past and present abuses are seldom guaranteed. A legacy of impunity has prevailed globally in which economic actors have incurred few legal or financial (indemnity) costs for violating behaviour. Examining cases in Nazi Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Peru, the Philippines and South Africa, this edited volume tracesbusiness accountability efforts. It identifies the tools applicable to different country contexts that have facilitated corporate accountability for human rights violations, while also flagging the barriers thatpersist. This volume presents the past and the present of accountability for corporations complicit in gross human rights violations, and also considers what the future may hold. Business involvement in human rights violations has been part of the past, the present, and will likely continue in the future. A legacy of impunity has prevailed globally. Using case studies and original datasets, this volume seeks to understand how corporate accountability for human rights violations has been achieved and what barriers persist.
