ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines the responsibility of both home and host-states to regulate as part of a triadic system of development responsibility. Yet, macro-level responses are inadequate in the absence of international responsibility for an environment conducive to the realization of the right to development. Human rights responsibilities must be carefully preserved against dilution by dissimilar groups with diverse mandates. States have created these global regimes and remain responsible under international human rights law. Human rights law provides for the regulation of non-state actors through a horizontal approach. Home-states have tremendous influence over the activities of their corporations, which could be used for the promotion of human rights. Developed states use extraterritorial regulation and influence to ensure favourable conditions for their corporations. Home-states employing a deterrent approach for human rights law could apply a doctrine of extraterritoriality. Home-states can ensure that the privatization polices and activities of corporations respect the right to water, for example, in host-states.
