FN-stadgans våldsförbud sätter upp ett absolut förbud mot våldsanvändning stater emellan, och endast en situation av självförsvar eller med mandat från säkerhetsrådet kan en stat få rätt att göra undantag från förbudet. Detta till trots finns det många exempel på fall av våldshandlingar som går utanför förbudets ramar, så kallade humanitära interventioner, och man har i dessa situationer hänvisat The UN Charter sets up an absolute prohibition on the use of force between states, and only a situation of self-defense or a mandate from the Security Council can give the right to make exceptions to the ban.

Trots att det finns stora möjligheter för att finna synergier mellan övergångsrättvisa och företagande och mänskliga rättigheter har de två forskningsfälten fram tills nyligen sällan undersökts ihop. Denna uppsats har som övergripande mål att bidra till en bättre förståelse för hur de två fälten interagerar när stater rör sig från pågående väpnade konflikter till post-konfliktfaser. I synnerhet ämThe fields of transitional justice and business and human rights have until recently seldom been examined jointly, despite the fact that their approaches reflect plenty of opportunities for potential synergies.
