Abstract

Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) play an increasingly important role in international society with the development of globalization. However, the problem of MNEs ignoring human rights protection to maximize their profits has become more and more serious in recent years. The paper will analyze the relationship between MNEs and human rights protection from the cases of the violation of personal rights such as the right to life and health, the legitimate rights of employees, the right to privacy, and so on. It can be seen that MNEs have neglected human rights protection and the lack of human rights protection methods of existing regulations. Based on these, the responsibility of human rights protection of MNEs can be improved from external regulation and internal regulation. Including these, external regulations are double protected by international law and domestic law. The internal regulation is mainly based on the MNEs to improve their conduct.
