The European Court of Human Rights has just published its new case-law guide on business and human rights. This case-law guide compiles and analyses a lot of cases on different Convention Articles relevant in the business context. Here is a very brief description:
‘There is no provision in the Convention and its Protocols which explicitly refers to business operations, companies, enterprises or commercial undertakings. However, in practice nearly every Convention Article is relevant to the rights of business entities, both companies and individual entrepreneurs. This Guide should be read as an entry point to the Court’s case-law on business matters rather than as an exhaustive overview. Most of the cases selected for this Guide concern a business
context, but readers are also encouraged to consult other Guides on specific Convention Articles and themes.’
This guide is part of the series of case-law guides published by the Court. The other case-law guides can be found here.
