Since the adoption of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) in 2011, various national legislative developments are being aimed at turning the voluntary UNGPs into binding legal obligations for corporate human rights impacts within global supply chains. The leading examples of such laws are those of the Germany, France, and the proposed EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. Although these laws are built on the concepts of the UNGPs, they each follow different models in terms of scope, types of duties imposed, and level of enforcement , and they are all enacted by the so-called "home states" of transnational corporations (countries where the companies at the top end of global supply chains are based). This study will investigate and compare the effect of each of these home state legal models on corporate practice. In particular, the focus will be on eight jurisdictions in which key developments have or are taking place: the Germany, France, Norway, the Netherlands, Switzerland, UK, the EU and the forced labour import bans already in existence in the US and currently proposed by the EU.

自 2011 年通过《联合国工商业与人权指导原则》(UNGP) 以来，各国立法的发展旨在将自愿性 UNGP 转变为针对全球供应链中企业人权影响的具有约束力的法律义务。此类法律的主要例子是德国、法国和拟议的欧盟企业可持续发展尽职调查指令。尽管这些法律是建立在UNGPs的概念之上的，但它们在范围、征收的义务类型和执行程度方面都遵循不同的模式，并且都是由所谓的跨国公司“母国”制定的。位于全球供应链顶端的公司所在的国家）。本研究将调查并比较这些母州法律模式对公司实践的影响。特别是，重点将放在已经或正在发生关键发展的八个司法管辖区：德国、法国、挪威、荷兰、瑞士、英国、欧盟以及美国已经存在和目前的强迫劳工进口禁令由欧盟提议。
