The judgment of the American Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on the case Kiobel has renewed the debate on the accountability of multinational enterprises for human rights. The Court referred to international law to identify rules on corporate liability for breaches of international human rights law. The Court dismissed the claims against Royal Dutch Petroleum for lack of the latter rules. This article aims to understand if different answers can be found under international law, in particular under international treaties concerning human rights protection.
