Corporate businesses are expanding nationally and globally. Given this proliferation, this edited book investigates and finds the inseparable nexus between businesses, human rights, and sustainable development. It comprehensively accommodates chapters on separate but interrelated aspects of this interface, providing collective cutting-edge information and critical analyses by outstanding scholars. Their intellectual contributions are invaluable to understand the role of business in protecting, preserving, and improving the human capital and natural resources for the future and fill up a void in the existing literature.

The book will be a handy and useful resource book for corporate policymakers, government officials, legislators, academics, researchers, libraries, lawyers, judges, human rights specialists/activists, and anyone interested in the interaction between business, human rights, and sustainable development.
