Summary

The chapter uses global poverty as a case study subset of human rights to expand the smart-mix regulation discourse to the field of human rights where there is little legal affirmation of the methods for tackling challenges. It shows how the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) exemplify governance reluctance and uncertainties in international human rights law. It argues that, if properly designed, corporate social responsibility (CSR) can potentially address governance gaps for human rights beyond the scope of the UNGPs. The chapter further shows that CSR can be utilised by willing actors for safeguarding rights and combating the unwillingness of powerful political and economic entities to accept the legalisation of business responsibility for human rights.
