Abstract

At present, multinational companies are gradually entering the Chinese market. While bringing convenience to China's economy, there are also frequent violations of labor rights by multinational companies. However, under the state-centered implementation system of international human rights law, the labor rights and interests of Chinese employees are not well protected. This paper studies how the labor rights and interests of Chinese multinational corporations are protected based on international law by means of legal norm analysis and case study. These problems are mainly reflected in the existing laws do not respond well to social demand; labor rights supervision mechanism is not perfect. The reason lies in the evolution and complex mechanism of the legal system of transnational corporations. For China, the existing legal system should be re-examined and improved by considering the relationship between sovereignty and labor rights and labor rights and development. At the same time, since the development and implementation of international law cannot be separated from the will and action of sovereign states, it is necessary to consider the development of domestic law. Only by expanding the level can the society construct a more fair, reasonable, and effective judicial relief system. Therefore, the author suggests that the interaction between domestic law and international law be used to correct this problem.
