Abstract
As multinational corporations pursue profits as organizations with significant influence, It is unavoidable that during their development process, they will infringe upon the human rights of the host country. To prevent such violations, certain scholars have suggested that multinational corporations should have human rights obligations in their home countries. This article will analyze whether the home country has a certain obligation to constrain the actions of multinational corporations that violate human rights from international treaties and past cases, and draw on some practical experience to propose suggestions for future development.
