In this project, we examine the juridification of the (academic and societal) debate on transnational corporations, violence and responsibility through the “business and human rights” approach. Given the current focus on corporate responsibility for human rights abuses, the project asks how non-justiciable experiences of violence can be represented, scandalised and made heard through the Business and Human Rights lens.

Results of this project have been published in a special issue of the German Journal of Peace and Conflict Studies on transnational corporations, co-edited by Dr. Hannah Franzki (together with Carolina Vestena and Christian Scheper) and in the journal article “From Business and Human Rights to Entangled Accumulation” in the Leiden Journal of International Law, co-authored by Dr. Hannah Franzki and Angela Sánchez-Alfonso.
