Abstract

Economic globalization and the rise of transnational corporate have created a favorable climate for corporate human abusers, which are governed principally by codes of supply and demand and show loyalty only to their stockholders. This phenomenon is one of the most important challenges for a labor framework articulated around Nation-State, supporting a growing asymmetry of power between transnationals corporations and the States. Although on 26 June 2014, the Human Rights Council adopted Resolution 26/9 to elaborate an internationally legal binding instrument to regulate, in international human rights law, the activities of transnationals corporations and other business enterprises, this instrument has not been yet approved. This articles focuses in the effects on the enactment of the binding agreement and subsidiary paper adopted by Global Framework Agreements on the achievement of Decent Work in global supply chains.
