Clapham: Human Rights Obligations for Non-State-Actors: Where are We Now?

Andrew Clapham (Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies) has posted Human Rights Obligations for Non-State-Actors: Where are We Now? (in Doing Peace the Rights Way: Essays in International Law and Relations in Honour of Louise Arbour, Fannie Lafontaine & François Larocque eds., forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
This contribution looks at recent developments concerning the accountability of armed groups and corporations under international law. In particular it looks at corporate criminal responsibility and the new AU Protocol providing for a criminal chamber to prosecute corporations, developments in investment law, and new approaches by the UN towards reporting on human rights violations committed by armed groups.
