Tariffs and non-tariff measures on multinational corporations linked to compliance with human rights standards
Keywords:
International trade, trade barriers, trade regulations, Imports, exportsAbstract
Multinational and transnational corporations operate worldwide, creating a dynamic in which their private interests often do not align with the interests of the countries in which they operate or the communities affected by them. The main problem arises when they affect not only the public interests of the host governments but also the rights of communities and the human rights of their members. There have been some efforts by the United Nations to establish standards or regulations in this area, which have not yet been finalized. However, the important thing is that the issue remains of interest to the international community and experts, who continue to offer solutions to these problems. This paper analyzes the above specifically, and explores tariffs and non-tariff measures as mechanisms for states to regulate these corporations.
