Above all, democracy requires honesty-in facing up to challenges, acknowledging fears and dangers, and admitting the limitations of government.

Human Rights and the Moral Responsibilities of Corporate and Public Sector Organisations


Free Download Human Rights and the Moral Responsibilities of Corporate and Public Sector Organisations By Tom Campbell (auth.), Tom Campbell, Seumas Miller (eds.)
2005 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 140202360X | PDF | 2 MB
All students and advocates of human rights will be interested in this concerted exploration of the human rights moral obligations that fall, not directly on states, but on private and public organisations. Such an approach to human rights opens up the possibility of holding corporations and bureaucracies to account for human rights violations even when they have acted in accordance with the law. This interdisciplinary and international project brings together eminent philosophers, lawyers, social scientists and practitioners to articulate theoretically and develop in practical contexts the moral implications of human rights for non-state actors. What emerges from the book as a whole is a distinctive contemporary vision of the emerging moral impact of human rights and its significance for organisational behaviour and performance.

Providing an overview of existing knowledge in the field of menopause in the workplace, this collection re-theorizes the management of human resources as it relates to the connections between gender, age and the body in the workplace environment with an intersectional analysis. Offering theoretical frameworks from experts as well as possible practical approaches that can be implemented in workplaces to support women transitioning through menopause, this is a go-to reference for academics and policy makers working in the field.
