- Abstract
The human rights responsibility of transnational corporations mainly concentrates on labour, environment, life, and freedom. Because transnational corporations cannot be the subject of international law, the present situation of the fulfilment of human rights is not optimistic. Based on the background of human rights supervision over transnational corporations, this paper observes the problems existing in the supervision of host countries representing developing countries from the perspective of domestic laws and points out the necessity to further strengthen the regulation of limited liability in terms of domestic laws and regulations. The establishment and improvement of legal supervision mechanisms shall be accelerated by establishing and introducing international law norms and treaties to which MNEs are members and introducing the new overall theory of parent companies and subsidiaries of MNEs, the accountability mechanism shall be expanded. The domestic legal norms and regulatory mechanisms of MNEs in developed countries shall be used for reference.
