With the development of transnational corporations, the phenomenon of destroying the environment, violating labor rights and other violations of international human rights law by transnational corporations frequently occurs. Human rights responsibilities of transnational corporations have aroused extensive attention from the international community. How to make transnational corporations assume the responsibility of the international human rights is what we need to resolve. The current regulation of transnational corporations in international human rights system can mainly be divided into two modes: one mode is the internal regulation of transnational corporations; the other one is external regulation from the host countries, home countries, international organizations, private groups. However, the host country doesn't have capacity to regulate the conduct of transnational corporations and most home countries are unwilling to regulate it. Supervision and self-regulation of transnational corporations from non-governmental organizations is still not enough to become an effective way to protect human rights, so how to strengthen the human rights responsibilities of transnational corporations in international law system has become an important research content.I tried to analyze the nature of transnational corporations and its status in international law and draw on foreign experience in the theory and practice, with the history and logic, general and specific, analysis and synthesis methods, systematically studied the method of international law regulation and put forward some proposals.
