Abstract

Aiming at a more effective implementation of human rights, the United Nations counts increasingly on cooperative partnerships with trans-national corporations. The article interprets these Public-Private Partnerships as a part of the developing Global Governance architecture & as the result of a paradigm shift among the United Nations, involving the growing awareness of the necessity of cooperation with private economic actors in rule & standard setting, rule implementation, & the provision of services within the global human rights regime. This paradigm shift has led to a remarkable increase of partnership projects. The article argues that Public-Private Partnerships in the realm of human rights have the potential for a more effective enforcement of the protection of human rights in the long run. References.
