“…The UHRI classifies human rights violations across five broad themes: implementation (e.g., derogation, policies, treaties); universal or cross-cutting issues (e.g., genocide, self-determination, racial discrimination); civil and political rights; economic, social, and cultural rights; and specific persons or groups. This index has been used extensively in many areas of academic research, including issues related to gender and discrimination (Khosla et al, 2016), domestic violence (Mahserjian, 2015), immigration (Grange and Majcher, 2017), sanitation (Winkler, 2015), and even internet governance (Mihr, 2017).…”

“…We reviewed the literature using these frameworks to assess the operationalization and empirical testing of HR dimensions (e.g., Attah et al, 2016; Grange and Majcher, 2017; Vigneau et al, 2015), focusing on multinational business CHRV identification. The GRI has been widely used for sustainability and CSR reporting, the OECD framework is mainly applied in well-being research, and the UHRI is prominent in international legal and HR bodies’ research.…”

This research critically examines corporate human rights violations (CHRVs) regarding exploitation and inequalities within the international business system. From the context of the emancipatory agenda of critical cross-cultural management, we present a novel framework for evaluating CHRVs based on a comprehensive analysis of reported cases between 2007 and 2017. Delving into the power dynamics and privileges that cast global workers, suppliers, and communities as the “other,” our research sheds light on how this conceptualization fuels decisions that put the rights of these “others” at risk. Our findings highlight violations related to all dimensions (abuse, labor, development, environment, and health) across industries and geographies. Notably, our findings align with the critical cross-cultural management literature on structural oppression that North American and Western European companies account for a significant number of violations in developing countries.

The United States does not comply with the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), which is the United Nations’ core binding anti-racism human rights convention. One hundred and seventy seven states, including the US, have ratified the anti-racism multilateral agreement. The nation entered into the pact in 1994 yet still has not implemented its obligations to the statute. This study focuses on the protections ICERD provides Latino immigrants who are not United States citizens as this group is often ignored in advocacy for implementation strategies. Areas where the United States does not comply with ICERD include discriminatory immigration policies and practices, violent and discriminatory policing, gendered violence, and inequalities in the criminal justice system. It is critical to examine ICERD’s protections for Latino non-citizens because it reveals how the group experiences racism differently than other people because they endure intersectional forms of systematic and institutional discrimination due to their race, ethnicity, citizenship status, gender, and other identity traits. Methodologies used in this study include analysis of ICERD’s monitoring body’s General Recommendations, and the monitoring body’s reports about the United States’ lack of compliance with the statute. These are the most powerful regulatory forces of the treaty due to the monitoring body’s positionality as experts about the pact appointed through the United Nations system.
