Human Rights in Supply Chains
An Overview of Due Diligence Obligations for Austrian Firms
Based on the United Nations General Assembly's Universal Declaration of Human Rights from 1948, human rights have become an integral part of the behaviour of states and companies. This study provides an overview of the development of the legal framework for the observance of human rights along supply chains and presents the international trade links of Austrian companies in vulnerable sectors with fragile countries.
Building on the status of the implementation of corporate practices to safeguard human rights in Austrian supply chains, measures to strengthen the implementation of due diligence obligations, in particular human rights, along supply chains are briefly discussed.
