It critically discusses its content by deepening into state duty to protect, corporate responsibility and access to justice. It presents the current state of domestic and international law on state and corporate business and human rights obligations. As such, it presents the legal nature and scope of UNGPs and argues that since their adoption, they have evolved into the central binding instrument on business and human rights, which rights-holders and stakeholders employ in exercising their rights and leverage to prevent and punish business-related human rights abuses. Finally, it explores the potential need for reform of the text of the UNGPs to include changes in normative developments and practice in the last decadeFaculdade de Direito, Lisboa20252025-10-27 14:10:25Članek v reviji12503sl
