다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Today's global economy environment allowed TNC(Transnational Corporation) to appear, which does corporate activity over several countries based on huge capital. TNC is global in the corporate activity range and is extensively having influence even upon political and social field as well as economy. The direct·indirect human rights violations, which are being arrogated in a place of being lacking in or having no human rights protection concept and protection policy like underdeveloped countries or developing countries to which TNC mainly advances, are showing that today's human rights problem in enterprise is being indicated as international issue. Based on this point, a change in international law is being promoted for international protection of human rights. And through this change, the international society and international organizations are suggesting diverse norms for strengthening the human rights protection of TNC. A country and international society are presenting diverse plans for fulfilling this. A problem may occur, about which a parent enterprise with different nationality needs to take responsibility even for illegal act of the overseas affiliate enterprise caused by complex composition, activity range, and form in TNC. This is becoming a very difficult problem to the directly-involved country. Also, even what a host country of the affiliate enterprise asks for regulation enough to be the same in home country brings about a result of meddling in the domestic policies of the host country at the slightest slip, thereby having possibility of creating diplomatic conflicts between countries. Therefore, to implement a system for strengthening the human rights protection of TNC, the universal system needs to be established that can be applied to the whole of international society. As a solution for this, the fulfillment of CSR(Corporate Social Responsibility) is proposed to enterprise for stepping up the human rights protection of TNC. That is because CSR can be a plan for an enterprise and the stake-holders of surrounding the enterprise to develop together as well as emphasizing that an enterprise will do responsible activity in diverse dimension. Accordingly, the human rights protection of TNC can be reinforced through CSR, which includes all of corporate spontaneity and regulation on enterprise. A characteristic of argument related to CSR activity of TNC was what aimed to apply its contents differently depending on inclination in each of stake-holders. However, the fundamental significance in CSR is in making the more developed relationship between enterprise and society by being secured corporate activity under social responsibility. Ultimately, the implementation of CSR for strengthening the human rights protection of TNC will need to approach the issue of the human rights protection through a system available for securing the effective execution of CSR in addition to the voluntary cooperation in all the stake-holders such as country, community, laborer and investor as well as enterprise. For this, it suggests a plan for the effective implementation of CSR in order to strengthen the human rights protection by dividing it into corporate dimension, national dimension, and international dimension. First of all, as the security of implementing CSR in the corporate dimension, there is a need of reforming the corporate governance of being included diverse stake-holders available for controlling illegal and unethical act, which can be indicated in corporate operation. Second, it is the expansion in SRI of deciding on investment by inducing enterprise to possibly do socially responsible act. This makes it have recognition as saying that CSR is favorable even in the economic aspect. Thus, the profit pursuit and CSR in enterprise can be harmonized.
