Synopsis:
As corporations grow more powerful, often surpassing that of governments, their influence on global human rights can no longer be ignored. In this urgent and timely book, legal scholar and former Member of Parliament Dr. Mario Silva explores the growing reach of transnational corporations and the critical need to hold them accountable. From landmark legal cases to policy debates and data privacy concerns, Silva unpacks how unchecked corporate conduct threatens the rights and dignity of individuals and communities worldwide— particularly the most vulnerable. At the heart of this book is a compelling question: How do we build a global economy where profit and human rights are not in conflict, but mutually reinforcing? Key topics include: Corporate influence on public institutions Legal frameworks for corporate accountability The impact of global business on Indigenous rights Data privacy in the digital age Transitional justice and corporate complicity With clarity and authority, Silva maps the legal terrain of corporate responsibility and offers a framework for ethical reform.
About the Author: Dr. Mario Silva is a Canadian legal scholar and former politician who has held roles in both municipal and federal government. He holds degrees from the University of Toronto, the Sorbonne, Oxford, and a PhD in law from NUI Galway. Silva is Vice Chair of the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, a distinguished fellow at Toronto Metropolitan University, and a recipient of national honours from France, Portugal, and Brazil.
