Study visit at the Business and human rights Unity at the University of Pretoria in South Africa and field visits to the African Regional and sub-regional mechanisms of human rights protection as well as to some human rights organisations which support victims of human rights abuses by Multinational Corporations from African countries in their quests for remedies. (OPG 2020 - Brems)
African countries need to attract Multinational Corporations (MNCs) for their development. But at the same time, many MNCs have been accused of involvement in human rights abuses and their victims face many obstacles to accessing remedies in domestic jurisdictions. This research will explore the potential of the African regional and sub-regional mechanisms to fill that gap in human rights protection.
