Resumo:In the light of the debate under the auspices of the United Nations Organization in recent years, it seems appropriate to consider the current status of legal persons in the field of international regulation, which has been particularly aggravated by the presentation of the report drawn up by the former Special Representative of the Secretary-General, John Ruggie. The importance of this type of strategy lies in the possibility that the international community opts for the crystallization of a broad conception of the civitas maxima, breaking frontally with the classical conception that refers to international subjectivity. Be that as it may, we must wait and see whether the successful —though sometimes blunt— measures taken to date successfully culminate in a truly effective protection of human rights standards in such a controversial sector as, without doubt, is the business one.
