Abstract

The establishment and improvement of judicial remedies for transnational corporations’ human rights violations is not only a fundamental part of the UN’s business and human rights agenda, but also a major challenge to the establishment as well as the improvement of mechanisms for proper corporate accountability. However, under the country-centered international human rights law implementation system, judicial remedies for transnational corporations’ human rights violations frequently face a number of legal and judicial challenges, which includes the jurisdiction dilemma, the corporate veil, lack of legal regulation and procedural and evidential issues. In order to strike a balance between the ideal of international human rights law and the current dilemma of domestic governance, and to minimize or eliminate the mentioned obstacles to the greatest extent possibly, efforts must be made to promote an effective interaction and coordinated cooperation between domestic and international law. Firstly, international human rights law guides the domestic law development and reform, the formation of basic principles on jurisdiction issues, legal internationalization and conceptual convergence of international corporate human rights responsibility and international judicial assistance and supervision by all sectors of society. Moreover, the implementation of international law is dependent on the will and actions of sovereign countries, so it is necessary to consider the coordinated development of domestic law.
