International Protection of Human Rights in the Context of International Construction Contract Law

The present study examines the legal regulation of international construction contracts within the framework of dynamic global economic integration and the emerging multipolar system of international relations. The research investigates the integration of comprehensive human rights standards into contractual provisions governing large-scale infrastructure projects. In particular, the study analyzes the protection of labor rights, environmental safeguards, and the interests of local communities by scrutinizing the incorporation of explicit contractual clauses designed to ensure accountability and transparency. Employing a comparative legal methodology, the research evaluates the congruence between international human rights obligations and national legal frameworks. It also critically assesses the role of anti-corruption measures, due diligence requirements, and robust enforcement mechanisms as essential elements in mitigating legal risks and preventing disputes in transnational construction projects. The study further reviews judicial and arbitral case law to identify institutional obstacles and practical shortcomings in the implementation of human rights norms. Its findings underscore the necessity of harmonizing international legal standards with domestic regulatory practices, thereby fostering a stable and equitable legal environment. The research contributes to the advancement of legal scholarship by offering concrete recommendations aimed at strengthening contractual protections and enhancing the overall effectiveness of legal instruments governing international construction agreements. This integrated approach ultimately seeks to balance economic development with the protection of fundamental human rights.
