Resumen

El posible alcance de la propuesta de un “Instrumento Internacional Legalmente Vinculante de Corporaciones Transnacionales y otros Emprendimientos Comerciales con relación a Derechos Humanos” que va ser discutida en el Consejo de Derechos Humanos es una de las principales cuestiones que determinarán la probabilidad de se llegar a un acuerdo efectivo en un tiempo razonable. Este artículo argumenta que el alcance de tal Instrumento debería ser definido teniéndose en cuenta el objetivo pretendido por el dicho instrumento: resolver las cuestiones que surgen por la habilidad de las corporaciones transnacionales (y otras empresas) en utilizar sus complejas estructuras para escapar de la responsabilización por violaciones de derechos humanos.
