abstract

  • Approach to development cooperation recognizes poor people not as beneficiaries, but as active rights holders and establishes corresponding duties for states and other actors. The concept of rights-holders and duty-bearers introduces an important element of accountability. Companies have been understood by some authors as responsibility bearers, but we by others, in an actual context, as duty bearers. International commitments adopted in the Sustainable Agenda can not ignore the role of transnational companies and the need to move towards frameworks that guarantee the fulfillment of human rights.
