欢迎访问我们的季刊《企业法律责任通讯》。该通讯每个季度都聚焦一个特点的主题,跟踪企业法律责任领域的最新发展。本中心企业法律责任门户网站(Corporate Legal Accountability)用客观简洁的信息,覆盖世界各地有关企业活动负面影响的法律诉讼。

本期聚焦:让金融机构为侵犯人权行为承担责任...钱也许无法买到爱情,但工商界却需要依靠它来买很多其他的东西。为项目提供资助或是寻求扩展业务的公司依赖从私人银行和多边金融机构(如世界银行集团和新 兴市场机构)获得资金。在我们的工作中,最常见的是针对企业直接参与造成的侵害行为发起诉讼。最近的一起诉讼将焦点集中在金融机构在侵犯人权事件中扮演的 角色。...

上述案例(还有本中心网站刊载的其他案例) 表明,如果在投资决策中不考虑人权因素,金融机构的投资可能会产生负面的影响。当金融机构的投资导致出现侵犯人权的行为时,通过战略性诉讼使金融公司承担 相应的责任将有助于增强金融界人士的人权意识,鼓励他们重新审视应如何对新投资项目进行风险评估。如果对人权产生负面影响的项目资金来源枯竭,这将迫使它 们更多地关注其经营活动对人权产生的影响。

关注经营活动对人权产生的影响对亚洲基础设施投资银行而言,具有特殊借鉴的意义。该行刚刚开始资助亚洲各地的发展项目。在亚投行正式启动后,公民社会组织对该行《环境和社会保障框架》是否充分到位表示了担忧。该框架的批评者认为,框架不够具体,也没有坚定地承诺支持可持续性贷款。针对外界在《环境和社会保障框架》草案磋商中提出的问题,亚投行的回复无法打消他们的疑虑。考虑到本文中提到案例,亚投行有一个极佳的机会,听取外界的批评和建议,制定并执行稳健的政策来保护弱势社区免受本地区基建项目投资带来的负面影响。
