| description | This thesis will focus on examining MNCs violation of human rights with specific reference to the environment and child labour. This paper will critique existing measures South Africa has adopted and implemented to prevent MNCs from committing such harmful practices and to hold them accountable for violating the aforementioned rights. This will be done by focusing in particular on MNCs operating in the extractive industry in South Africa. The study will consider the nature of human rights violations MNCs in this sector have been accused of and how, if at all, they are being held accountable. Lastly, this thesis will provide recommendations in respect to better prevention and accountability of MNCs of human rights violations. |
