The Implications of the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive Proposal on the Norwegian Transparency Act

Abstract

This thesis explores the developments of the new regulatory field of human rights law, mandatory human rights due diligence legislation. It seeks to identify what the implications an EU-level human rights legislation can have on an existing national human rights legislation, if the former is adopted. This is conducted through a legal comparative content analysis of the Norwegian Transparency Act and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive Proposal to explore the implications the latter can have on the former.
