Las Empresas transnacionales en industrias extractivas: su regulación, desafíos y perspectivas en derechos humanos

Abstract

Extractive industries play a significant role in the global economy. Consequently, their impact on both human rights and the environment presents major challenges in obtaining the necessary licenses for exploitation. When these companies begin operations, they face various laws and regulations, often containing legal loopholes that benefit them. Both the UN and the United Nations make great efforts to continuously improve the standards on this issue. It is crucial to strengthen the social and legal responsibility of companies involved in these activities, seeking a balance between economic growth and respect for the fundamental rights of affected communities.
