As explored by Caroline Omari Lichuma in this symposium, the relational approach extends well to human rights and environmental due diligence legislative initiatives. Moreover, it could inform the reach of corporate due diligence understood as a direct obligation under international law, as advocated in this symposium by Gamze Erdem Türkelli. Questions...

...phase. This inclusive approach, embodied in the rules of procedure, was crucial for the passage of the treaty. Admittedly, while this may seem self-congratulatory, it is undeniable that the role of CSOs was critical in monitoring the trajectory of the negotiations and also in taking an active part in shaping the discussions and the final outcome (as indicated in another post in this symposium, see here).
