    Globalization involves the increasing integration of economies and societies around the world through cross-border movement of goods, capital, services, technologies and people. This document discusses how economic globalization can affect human rights both positively and negatively. On one hand, transnational corporations can directly or indirectly violate human rights through their actions or by supporting regimes that violate rights. On the other hand, globalization can also raise standards of living and improve economic, social and cultural rights. However, the major threats of economic globalization are widening inequality, violations of fundamental rights, and threatening states' sovereignty and democracy.
