Contribution of a National Human Rights Body to Uncovering Climate-Related Corporate Responsibility: Extraterritoriality and Human Rights Due Diligence
Original language description
The non-judicial inquiry conducted by the Philippine Commission on Human Rights regarding the so-called Carbon Majors (In re Greenpeace Southeast Asia and Others) stands as an early example of the assertion of human rights jurisdiction with respect to foreign companies in the context of climate change. The chapter discusses in detail the issue of corporate responsibility to respect human rights in the context of climate change and the related concept of corporate climate due diligence. Based on the Commission's findings, it analyses the different substantive elements of the climate-related human rights duty, the gaps in domestic legal frameworks, and the directions for future regulatory developments. While the Commission's final report was brief on the issue of extraterritoriality in the context of human rights and business, it offers inspiration for other national human rights institutions in examining corporate responsibility, including those operating outside their territories.
