Claims against big corporations based on international law,
whether connected to climate change and environmental matters or
human rights violations by suppliers, are on the rise (e.g. climate
change claim of a Peruvian farmer against RWE; Congolese child
cobalt mining lawsuit against major US tech companies). In
addition, some legislators have introduced different degrees of
legal responsibility for compliance with international human rights
law in the supply chain. The panel members will discuss the impact
of these recent trends on international businesses and the chances
resulting from it.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
