The United Nations Human Rights Council established the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in 2011. Since then, there has been an in-depth analysis of the role of companies as organs of society that perform specific functions, but that They must comply with the legal regulations of the countries where they carry out their commercial activity.
