Microsoft core principles in human rights and ethical violation
The company’s core approach to human and ethical right violation is based on the power of how technology ensures and protects human rights. Technology in this contemporary world is an essential way to the protection of ethics and humans rights in business (Bishop, 2017). Civil society, the government as well as people should take the responsibility of using the power or benefits of technology in order for others to achieve their dreams or full potential while ensuring ethical values in the workplace as well as protecting or promoting human rights (Bishop, 2017). Microsoft public policy is meant to support the effective use of technology to improve or enhance human rights as well as ensuring that there is continuous protection of human rights under any circumstances.
The company also protects or supports human rights through the rule of law and good governance. The company is well known for its support of human rights through the rule of law and good governance. Advancing the rule of law and good governance is an essential aspect of any corporate responsibility. Both the rule of law and good governance are important or essential to the protection or support of human rights (Deva, 2015). For instance, the rule of law and good governance can make a company to have reliable enforcement of environmental laws and labor as well as promoting security systems and justice that effectively maintains an appropriate state between protection of human rights or safety and also protecting individuals or employees’ rights infringed by the government (Deva, 2015). Microsoft, therefore, advocates for laws and policies that encourage innovations while at the same time ensuring people are safe and well protected.
The company also protects human rights through engagement. That is, it is more effective if the individual involved in protecting human rights is directly involved in the process rather than been absent and addressing the situation when incidents of human violation occur (Morrison, 2015). Responsible and appropriate engagement with governments and individuals in such cases has a greater promise for the protection of human rights, more especially on long-term and medium-term effects.
Microsoft ensures the protection of human rights is effective through involving and using multi-stakeholders, local groups engagement, leverage in order to influence primary factors as well undertaking due diligence when identifying and mitigating any possibilities of impacts of human rights (Sampford, 2015). Therefore, the company protects human rights through a global approach that involves international standards (Sampford, 2015). The company ensures that human rights are protected by respecting human rights that are defined by various covenants and declarations. Such covenants and declaration include International Covenant On Political And civil rights and Cultural And Social Rights.
