Companies may contribute to such abuses in various ways\, i ncluding through third parties operating within their global value cha in relationships. Against this backdrop\, supply chain litigation has become the primary mechanism for holding lead companies accountable\, amid extensive fragmentation\, economic interdependence coupled with l egal independence among actors\, and limited regulatory oversight. Thi s workshop examines how courts across different jurisdictions\, includ ing those in the Global South\, delineate the boundaries of corporate liability in global value chains. It offers an analytical account of h ow such cases are framed before courts\, the legal reasoning that supp orts both liability and non- liability findings\, and the factors that shape case outcomes\, drawing on comparative insights and empirical e vidence from Giovana Agutoli’s doctoral research.  \; Speaker: G iovana Agutoli | PhD Candidate\, FGV Law School (Brazil). Visiting Res earcher\, King’s College London. Business & Human Rights Coordinator \, UN Global Compact Network Brazil.  \; DTSTART:20251204T140000Z DTEND:20251204T180000Z LOCATION:Seminar room (2nd floor)\, CHREN\, Andreij-Sacharow-Platz 1\, 90403 Nürnberg DTSTAMP:20260418T165527Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
