Course Objectives/Course Description

 

This course, thus, has been specifically designed for the non-law people. It aims to address the linkages between the corporate and the human rights in the form of CSR. It critically analyses one significant question – whether the issues of human rights should be addressed by the corporate sector mandatorily or voluntarily, in different social contexts? The strengths and weaknesses of the CSR initiatives in India and other countries are analysed. Also, the international commitments, with special reference to the role of United Nations are seen.

Course Objectives: Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR, as it is popularly referred to, is a combination of ethical, philanthropic, legal and economic responsibilities of a corporate organization towards the social transformation by addressing the social issues in collaboration with Government and NGOs. The corporate entities are more into profit making business and in this race, they often forget that their activities are causing harm to and not protecting the environment as well as human rights of the people.

Learning Outcome

CO1: Analyze the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility and the laws related to it

CO2: Understand the national and international laws related to regulate the CSR activities of the company and organizations.

CO3: Evaluate the contemporary position and explain how it is related to the protection of the Human rights.
