BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS / Šturma, Mozetic (eds)

political management, given the sustainability challenges beyond national action, whether the state is rich or poor. Soon the implementation of international business cannot omitted this world-directed view. Also, with regard to the primacy for global governance that would impact on international business, according to Giménez-Candela 30 there is an understanding that it is necessary to adapt the legal system to global challenges, and there is a need for a common framework of concepts in the context of a new legal language, seeking a consensus on the basis of a new intellectual unit. Thus, she quotes: to understand the necessary adaptation of our legal systems to the challenges of globalisation, legal history could help us by contributing a common framework of concepts, a common juridical language, a consensus in te basis of a new intellectual unity. Sustainability works on its thematic object in a transversal way to other social policies, assuming new dimensions for the formulation of local and regional development programs, plans and projects. Within this perspective – and considering the socio- environmental specificities of international business – the effectiveness of social policies for the guarantee of Human Rights presupposes generation of employment and income (combating social exclusion), fair distribution of the conditions of appropriation of urban and rural spaces (territorial inclusion) along with the efficiency of production infrastructure (combating the waste of natural and human resources), and protecting the integrity of ecosystems, as well as the quality of life of populations, especially the most vulnerable. Sustainability encompasses not only the relationship between economic and environmental but also the human balance in relation to other issues. 31 In this conception the adequacy of international business posture is implicit, in which cultural, legal, political, economic and physical-spatial variables must be respected and guaranteed. To this end, international business will have to align the premise of transnational collaboration and solidarity with a view to global sustainability on the premise of guaranteeing Human Rights. This is because the intensification of the phenomenon of globalization poses important challenges to the states and demands a qualitative and strategic re-adaptation of the law, since it presents itself as an instrument of state social control. Emanated from a sovereignly isolated entity on the planet, it no longer produces more effective responses to ensure a future with progressive sustainability for the whole community of life and on a global scale. We need to build and consolidate a new conception of transnational sustainability, as a paradigm of approximation between peoples and cultures, and the citizen’s participation in a conscious and reflexive way in political, economic and social management. 32 30 GIMÉNEZ-CANDELA, T.
