1. Introduction The main purpose of this article is to explain a necessary connection in the operation of international business with Human Rights. A reflection on Agenda 2030 – SDGs is made, in the context of a transnational area. 3 This area is gradually becoming more and more essential for dealing with fundamental issues of diffuse and cross-border rights, such as the right to security in the production and consumption of goods through a globalized economy, the right to peace, the right to a healthy environment, among others. It is indispensable for the construction of these spaces, in which demands of global interests are addressed, the necessary quality of sustainability, should they be contextualized in the full guarantee of Human Rights. Certainly, there is a peremptory change in the global scenario, in view of the increasing acceleration of technological, legal, business and political transformations, especially in what impacts Human Rights as a result of the advent of the speed of communications and mobility in general, the common community calls for concrete measures to guarantee these rights, so as to enable the sustainability of human, social and environmental development. In this context, in which something new is installed and brings a scenario of instability and, why not, of chaos, at the international level, it is necessary to determine assumptions of convergence among all actors in political, legal and business fields – so that the abuses are avoided, in the case of this study, in the particular scenario of globalization of business. 1 Lawyer.
