Today, it is highly debated how to realize corporate due diligence across the global value chain. Multinationals headquartered in the Global North do business through their subsidiaries, suppliers, or subcontractors in the Global South and thereby cause human rights violations or environmental damage. Should the parent company be held responsible for the wrongs committed across the global value chain? Can litigation be a viable means to combat human rights abuse or climate change? To achieve common interest and SDGs in the international community, it is necessary to overcome the North-South divide and attain shared responsibility. This seminar discusses several avenues of effecting corporate due diligence and scrutinizes the role of private international law for global governance.
