Abstrakt
The modern definition and catalogue of human rights were formalized after the World War
II. One of the legal documents is Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 which states
that all people are free and equal under the law, dignity and rights regardless a race, color, sex,
language, religion, political and other views, nationality, social status and so on. All economic,
social and cultural rights are also protected. An economic growth and common globalization require
legal regulations on observations of human rights in business relations. Since 2001 European
Union has been creating such regulations, admittedly not mandatory, but establishing corporate
social responsibility (CSR). It means that an entrepreneur should consider in his economic strategy
environmental and social aspects although accepting all those methods is entirely voluntarily. On
February 6th, 2013, European Parliament accepted two resolutions on CSR: 1) Accountable, transparent
and responsible business behavior and sustainable growth (2012/2098 (INI)); 2) Promoting
society’s interests and a route to sustainable and inclusive recovery (2012/2097 (INI)). Resolutions
include a new definition introduced by Commission, understood as “corporate responsibility for its
influence on society”. The aims of both resolutions is to create mechanisms allowing to workout
common values for enterprises owners, interested third parties and society and recognize, prevent
and mitigate negative effects of destructing activity of enterprise. The involvement of small and
medium-sized enterprises (MSP) sector in corporate social responsibility adjusting the methods
of CSR to company size and character of activity is postulated. It is also seen that human rights in
third countries, in which union companies have their shares and from which providers within chain
of supplies originally come, need to be protected.
