Sample Text	Sovereign states have become the fundamental subjects of classical international law based on the Westphalian model. However, international human rights law, which was created to protect the individual against arbitrary state interventions, has changed this classical model. On the other hand, in the 1970s, non-state actors, including companies, became one of the focal points of international law as a result of the phenomenon of globalization, and this time, a change began in the law regarding human rights. The UN Guiding Principles are the basic text regulating the business-human rights relationship, but the requirements of this relationship bring with it some theoretical and practical problems. The issue of the nature and basis of companies' obligations regarding human rights is the subject of this article., Sovereign states have been the main subjects of classical international law based on the Westphalian model. But international human rights law formulated for the protection of individuals mainly against arbitrary state intervention has transformed this classical model. On the other hand, in the 1970s non-state actors including corporations have become one of the focal points of the international law as a result of globalism and this time international human rights law has started to change. UN Guiding Principles is the main instrument determining business-human rights relations, but it brings some theoretical and practical problems about the implications of these relations.
