Foreword to the special issue on accountability in crisis
Outsourcing the enforcement of modern slavery
Recent legislative efforts to address modern slavery emphasise corporate disclosure as the primary regulatory tool. New modern slavery disclosure laws harden the expectation that business will conduct itself responsibly; however, they are founded on a soft approach to enforcement which is essentially outsourced to the market. This paper questions the effectiveness of this disclosure-based enforcement mechanism, which primarily relies on a narrowl…
Modern slavery and the employment relationship
The term ‘modern slavery’ constitutes a broad non-legal umbrella term that refers to a range of abusive practices including, but not limited to, forced labour, bonded labour, human trafficking and child slavery. While the most severe forms of labour exploitation represent instances of modern slavery, focusing on labour abuses more broadly is also important as it is not always clear at what point non-compliance with labour standards seeps into cas…
Regulating transparency on human rights and modern slavery in corporate supply chains
This article examines some of the limits of reporting schemes as a tool for addressing business-related human rights risks and for engaging business in a collaborative effort to improve human rights. Australia’s Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) (MSA) is the latest example globally of a legislative scheme intended to foster corporate action on such risks within businesses’ operations and supply chains. Some such schemes require firms to implement hum…
Foreword to the New Thinking on Business and Human Rights Special Issue
In the mid-1990s, many corporations questioned the relevance of human rights to business. But since then a combination of factors, including some high-profile acts of corporate irresponsibility and

Global supply chains and human rights
The problem of modern slavery in global supply chains is attracting increased attention from governments, business and the civil society. Modern slavery is not defined in international law and remains a concept in search of a clear legal definition. We focus on emerging legislative disclosure regimes as a mechanism for regulating modern slavery in supply chains and consider how regulatory frameworks could be crafted to maximise their effectivenes…
Business and human rights
This article examines a company’s responsibility to respect human rights, focusing in particular on corporate global supply chains. While global supply chains have long been associated with a range of human rights violations, a number of recent legislative initiatives both in Australia and elsewhere are applying traditional corporate concepts – such as due diligence and reporting – in a human rights framework, to ensure companies respect human ri…
Beyond Kiobel
Corporate accountability actions brought under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) tend to be grounded more in hope than in expectation. While an effective publicity tool for highlighting allegations of corporate irresponsibility and a successful approach for gaining favorable settlements in a few high-profile cases, U.S. courts have generally been reluctant to use the ATS to hold global corporations accountable for their actions outside the United Stat…

Trading and Aiding Human Rights
This article traces the interrelationship of human rights with business and considers the central role played by corporations in the global economy. In particular it examines three points of intersection between human rights and business: transnational commerce, trade and investment, and development aid. As the influence of corporations on the economic and political scene in many countries has increased in recent decades, international law has ba…
