    Dr Tara Van Ho

Join the ECCHR and the Essex Business and Human Rights Project for an update and discussion of the proposed German supply chain due diligence law featuring some of the leading thinkers and actors in Business and Human Rights in Germany.

We’ll consider: 

  • What does the law do? 
  • How does the law fit into the broader regulatory regime within Germany?
  • What more should the law do?

Bringing together civil society, legal practitioners, academia, and business-minded consultants, this panel will offer a variety of perspectives that should further our understanding of the current status of the law, what we can reasonably hope for the future, and what we should (un)reasonably demand to ensure progress and accountability. 

Panellists

  • Dr Miriam Saage-Maas, Vice Legal Director, ECCHR
  • Robert Grabosch, Schweizer Legal
  • Professor Dr Markus Krajewski, Chair in Public Law and Public International Law, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg
  • Gwendolyn Remmert, co-founder and director of Sustainable Links
  • Daniel Crampton, Consultant
  • Dr Anna Beckers, Assistant Professor of Private Law and Legal Methodology, University of Maastricht
  • Franca Maurer, German Institute for Human Rights, International Human Rights section.

Moderated by: Dr Tara Van Ho and Dr Anil Yilmaz, co-Directors of the Essex Business and Human Rights Project, University of Essex School of Law and Human Rights Centre.
