The speaker was Seung Jin Kim, who obtained a doctor of Sociology Department of University of Chicago.
The speaker introduced the
relationship between disruptions of the environment and violations of human
rights, which happens as a byproduct of the business extending processes of
transnational companies. She also introduced the approaches of international
law to preventing such illegal behaviors on the part of transnational
companies. In particular, she looked at the role of the lawsuit—meaning a legal
trial—in resolving these problems through one specific approach, the US
legislation known as ATS (Alien Tort Statute). In addition, she also lectured
on the possibility of international governance to reinforce the social
responsibility of the transnational companies.
