Business and Human Rights - Legal Commitments to Care in a Global Comparison
The study shows that the states have so far pursued different regulatory approaches with regard to human rights due diligence on their own and are often limited to a thematic, sometimes regional, subject of due diligence. Although the requirements of care are essentially the same, they are formulated differently and have a different content. On the patchwork created in this way, legal users are faced with the challenge of having to understand and fulfil the requirements of various foreign legal systems. Transnational legal harmonisation, in particular of the core elements of due diligence, would be a facilitation for all stakeholders. Attention should be paid to a smart mix of voluntary initiatives and mandatory requirements, at national and trans-national level.
