In this session, two highly controversial Supreme Court cases, Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum and Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, will be discussed in the context of the influential role corporations play on the global stage. These cases have given rise to questions of human rights, corporate governance and corporate accountability, corruption, the relative political influence of real and juridical persons, and the rule of law. This roundtable will bring together lawyers and scholars working on these cases and related issues to discuss their legal implications in the United States and in other countries.
