This book considers the legal control of multinational corporations (MNCs) for violations of human rights from a developing country¿s perspective, examining the role for corporate social responsibility (CSR) in regulating the conductof MNCs. The book uses the case study of Nigeria which is host to major MNCs from the EU and the US, to show that the CSR concept is currently insufficientto deal with externalities emanating from MNCs' operations including human rights violations. The book goes on to argue that whilst control of MNCs involves regulation at the international level, more emphasis needs to be placed on possibilities at home States and host States where there are stronger bases forthe control of corporations. It examines possibilities in the European Union,exploring ways in which the EU can ensure that MNCs from its territory do notviolate human rights when operating abroad.
