- Description
- The development of commerce is inextricable from the development of human rights. Certainly, on the one hand the flow of global commerce operates to restrain states in their implementation of human rights, but on the other hand the network processes of global commerce simultaneously facilitate and promote human rights. In order to better understand this relationship between human rights and commerce, this article will provide novel insight into the historical evolution of the concept of “fungibility” to show how the concept serves as a necessary component of both contemporary law and contemporary commerce. Thereafter we conceptualise the deeply integrated nature of global commerce as a framework for explaining one of the circuitries through which human rights travel. This article then integrates these conceptual backgrounds in a case study of human rights-related due diligence in Indonesia to show an example of how this theoretical intersection between human rights and contemporary global commerce plays out in reality.
