Child Labour as Corporate Crime in Nexus to Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Crime is a relatively new term associated with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The instant study tries to explain corporate crimes in nexus to CSR. It debates what international legal framework prohibits such crimes and how corporations commit violations of such international standards, any deviation from the standard may result in serious damage to society thus affect millions of lives e.g., the growing trend of child labor under hazardous conditions by a corporation. Through increased monitoring on child labor, innocent children can be saved from the havoc of child labor even reaching the level of slavery in some regions. This would help to reduce the number of children having hazardous workplace situation being unfairly compensated for their work.
