The Corporate Social Responsibilities of Financial Institutions for the Condu...Larry Catá Backer
Abstract: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be split along two distinct lines. The first touches on the nature of corporate personality and is rooted in domestic law regulating enterprises specifically and legal persons generally. The second touches on the nature of the rights of individuals and is rooted in international law (and sometimes domestic constitutional law) defining the scope of the human rights of individuals and the consequential obligations of states and legal persons. Both conversations intertwine though they tend to operate autonomously. In both cases, however, the traditional focus of corporate responsibility has focused on the relationship between an operating company and its direct effects on individuals, society and the environment. That discussion remains contentious, conflicted and unresolved. But it ignores a critical actor—the financial institutions which provide operating capital to enterprises. This paper considers the corporate social responsibilities of financial institutions, including sovereign wealth funds, for the conduct of their borrowers. The focus will be the extent of any duty or responsibility of lenders to ensure that their borrowers comply with CSR obligations (or alternatively conforms to international human rights standards) as a core aspect of their own CSR obligations (or alternatively) of their responsibility to respect human rights. Section II examines the general regulatory framework. There are two aspects that are relevant. The first is to understand the scope and character of the legal norms that may be applied to enterprises generally with respect to their operation’s that might be understood as CSR-human rights related in nature. The second is to consider the range of non-legal normative governance rules that might apply. In the process it will be important to distinguish between a CSR based regulatory approach and a human rights based approach. Section III considers the application of these norms to financial institutions. This requites distinguishing between those obligations that apply to the internal operations of financial institutions generally, and those obligations that apply to the financial institution’s obligations with respect to its lending activities, that is with respect to its relationship with its borrowers. The essay ends with a brief examination of recent cases in which financial institutions undertook such a responsibility, and the ways in which that obligation was undertaken. Three different types of institutions are considered—private banks, sovereign wealth funds and international financial institutions (IFIs). The paper ends with a preliminary consideration of the consequences of this movement for domestic CSR in the U.S.

bitripartite and tripartite by Apurva & Sejal.pptxDrJyotiDashora
Tripartite refers the three parties and bitripartite refers two parties.
The tripartite body was establish to make peace and improve relations between management and unions and maintain smooth functioning of union management relation. Tripartite bodies in India are : ILC (The Indian Labour Conference), SLC (The Standing Labour Committee) , The committee on Conventions ,The Industrial Committee .
ILC (Indian Labour Conference) and SLC (Standing Labour Committee) are both important constituents of tripartite bodies and play a vital role in shaping the IR system of the country. The labour Ministry settles the agendafor ILC\SLC meetings after taking into consideration the suggestion sent to it by member organisation. The ILC meets once a year , whereas the SLC meets as and when necessary.
Evaluation of ILC and SLC : Tripartite diliberations have helped reached consensus on statutory wage fixation , Industrial Disputes Act 1947 , provident fund scheme 1950 The mines act 1952 , etc.
Committee on Conventions : 1. To examine the ILO conventions and recommendations which have not so far been ratified by India. 2. To make suggestions with regard to a phased and speedy implementation of ILO standards.
Bipartite bodies : it is a system of industrial relation where social and labour issues are discussed between trade unions and management,usually at the enterprise level.
Work committee is meant by the industrial units to prevent and settle disputes at unit level is known as work committee.
Joint Managemnet
Under this system, Joint Management Councils are constituted at the plant level. These councils were set up as early as 1958 and consist of an equal number of representatives of the employers and employees, not exceeding 12 at the plant level. The plant should employ at least500 workers.

Bipartism is a system of industrial relations where social and labour issues are discussed between trade unions and management, usually at the enterprise level. The bipartite consultative machinery comprises two important constituents, viz., the works committees and the joint management councils. These are purely consultative and not negotiating bodies. This consultative joint machinery- with equal representation of the employers and the workers has been set up exclusively for dealing with disputes affecting the plant or industry.

3. Introduction about ILO.
▪ The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a United Nations agency
dealing with labour problems, particularly international labour standards,
social protection, and work opportunities for all.[1] The ILO has 187 member
states: 186 of the 193 UN member states plus the Cook Islands are
members of the ILO.
▪ The ILO registers complaints against entities that are violating international
rules; however, it does not impose sanctions on governments.
▪ Unlike other United Nations specialized agencies, the International Labour
Organization has a tripartite governing structure – representing
governments, employers, and workers (usually with a ratio of 2:1:1).
4. ▪ As ofApril 2016, the ILO has 187 state members. 186 of the
193 member states of the United Nations plus the Cook Islands are
members of the ILO.The UN member states which are not members
of the ILO
are Andorra, Bhutan, Liechtenstein, Micronesia, Monaco, Nauru,
and North Korea.
▪ The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a specialized agency
of the United Nations (UN). As with other UN specialized agencies (or
programmes) working on international development, the ILO is also
a member of the United Nations Development Group.

▪ International labour standards are backed by a supervisory system
that is unique at the international level and that helps to ensure that
countries implement the conventions they ratify.The ILO regularly
examines the application of standards in member states and points
out areas where they could be better applied. If there are any
problems in the application of standards, the ILO seeks to assist
countries through social dialogue and technical assistance.
▪ There are two kinds of supervisory mechanism:
12. ▪ The regular system of supervision: examination of periodic reports
submitted by Member States on the measures they have taken to
implement the provisions of the ratified Conventions
▪ Special procedures: a representations procedure and a complaints
procedure of general application, together with a special procedure
for freedom of association

14. Industrial relations.
▪ The ILO Legal Database on Industrial Relations
(IRLex) summarizes the legal framework which regulates industrial
relations in a range of ILO Member States.The database aims to
describe key aspects of the regulatory framework in respect of
freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. It
covers six thematic areas:
15. ▪ National legal framework;
▪ The administration of trade unions and employers’ organizations;
▪ Tripartite social dialogue;
▪ Information and consultation at the workplace;
▪ Collective bargaining;
▪ Labour disputes and their resolution;
16. IRLEX
•Access to detailed information on regulatory frameworks covering
industrial relations and collective bargaining in countries with different
legal systems;
•The ability to view a full country profile; or specific sections of the
database;
•The possibility of generating comparative information on specific
topics through the ‘Compare Countries’ feature
17. •Translated legislative provisions, and access to legislation in its
original language and/ or other ILO working languages;
•Links to the latest information on the decisions of the Committee of
Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations for
the ILO Conventions that are ratified in each country.
18. Complaints
▪ The complaint procedure is governed by articles 26 to 34 of the ILO
Constitution. Under these provisions, a complaint may be filed against a
member state for not complying with a ratified convention by another
member state which ratified the same convention, a delegate to the
International Labour Conference or the Governing Body in its own
capacity. Upon receipt of a complaint, the Governing Body may form a
Commission of Inquiry, consisting of three independent members, which is
responsible for carrying out a full investigation of the complaint,
ascertaining all the facts of the case and making recommendations on
measures to be taken to address the problems raised by the complaint. A
Commission of Inquiry is the ILO's highest-level investigative procedure; it
is generally set up when a member state is accused of committing
persistent and serious violations and has repeatedly refused to address
them.To date, 12 Commissions of Inquiry have been established, the latest
one following an article 26 complaint filed against the Government of
Zimbabwe in November 2008.
19. HR practices.
▪ Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises (SCORE)
Objective:
▪ SCORE aims to increase the productivity of small and medium-sized
