摘　　要：At the international level the concept of corporate liability is unfortunately vague, especially on the transnational liability of multinational corporations. There is, till date, no set of binding international principles for determining the liability of multinational corporations under international law which allow for the imposition of sanctions on erring corporations. This paper aims to assess the present liability of Transnational Corporations （TNCs） and shall try to frame an argument to help expand the scope of their liability under international law. Broadly, the paper shall assess the criminal liability of corporations under international criminal law and shall suggest how the ＂identification doctrine＂, the ＂aggregation doctrine＂ and the ＂doctrine of interest＂ are effective solutions to help bring about the direct accountability of multinational corporations under international criminal law. It shall then assess the liability of TNCs for violation of human rights and their liability for environmental law violations.
