The tensions between human rights and globalization can beread in the parallel historical development of an international humanrights regime with a so-called “free trade” regime. These twointernational regimes have developed without entering any real dialogue until very recently, although they are both claiming to serve the interests of humanity. The true goals of each of these movements, I argue, are contradictory and cannot be resolved – least of all by a movement such as corporate social responsibility (CSR), which originates in the corporate sector. Even though the human rights regime and the global economic regime had a similar normative ambition of advancing human welfare, rights and opportunities, the paradox of this ambition was that the structure of the global economic order made the achievement of these rights impossible. Whereas the primary responsibility for the enforcementof human rights standards lies with national governments, there is agrowing acceptance that corporations also have an important role to play. Instruments of the human rights regime attempt to share or complement states responsibilities with private actors’ responsibility. Indeed, the human rights regime affirms explicitly the prevalence of the human right to fair remuneration over wealth creation, rationale of the free trade regime. The contradiction is apparent and the human right to fair remuneration highlights the incompatibility of the two regimes. |
