Resumo
The concept of duty of care in judgements of five countries (England, Ireland, Australia, Canada and Holand) is utilized as a way to make transnationals enterprises responsible for human rights damages caused by their subsidiaries companies, in a processual maneuver to achieve reparation for the victims, since International Courts do not allow private entities to become parts in their litigation procedure. This research means to create a general concept for the instrument, with its limitations and requirements, through the observation of foreign judgments cited by the relevant literature, considering three main points: the facto control exercised by the parent company, the piercing of the corporate veil and the applicable jurisdiction. The main element of the concept of duty of care is the facto control, which can manifest itself in two ways: by a positive action directly over the possible damaging conduct of the subsidiary and by omission when the multinational enterprise has a conduction of superior knowledge and fails to advice the subsidiary in its actions. The facto control contains both the foreseeability of the damage and the relation of proximity between the parts. The duty of care can only be imposed when the facto control is present.
