The core issues cover the applicability of CSRs rules as part of a governing law and analysis of rules determining jurisdiction of a relevant forum for deciding disputes relating to CSRs values. The awareness of the international CSR instruments is rather low in the Czech Republic amongs both businesses and the general public. The recent initiatives, including the National Action Plan and the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights, seem essential for further development and achieving a more systematic and coordinated approach to these issues at the domestic level. Companies play an essential role in economic development and their activities shall be respectful of human rights, irrespective of where their operations take place. Norms of private international law are broad as regards their scope of application but have inherent limits to enable disputes regarding breaches committed by overseas operations to be litigated in the Czech courts or the courts of the EU Member States.
