Abstract

This study aims to analyse and critically assess the legal and regulatory developments in the field of Human Rights corporate social responsibility in transport companies in the EU. In particular the analysis will be focused on the study of the international road transport sector and the international air transport sector. It will consider and assess whether the EU of human rights in the 21st century should act much more actively in order to avoid fragmentation of the European project and the internal market, or whether it should instead maintain an attitude of legislative inaction that allows EU Member States to continue to violate European law and even human rights in the transport sector.
