Human rights and business represents an umbrella concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR, also called corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship, and responsible business). The article analyzes national legislation in regard to the protection of human rights and particularly rights of workers. Also, the intention of this paper is to identify employment practices with respect to already existing legislation and human rights standards in BiH. Anther issue being examined in this paper is the community impact of business in BiH. Hereby, community impact is being represented mainly by existing legislation in environment protection, anticorruption and product liability. The paper puts in light examples of business practices with respect or disrespect of human rights standards while relying on reports of NGOs, Ombudsman, Transparency International and, also, media reporting in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
