Summary

This chapter lays out the cornerstones of polycentric governance in business and human rights, including the attribution and distribution of obligations and the attribution and distribution of responsibility. The chapter distinguishes primary norms relating to duty-bearing (obligations) from secondary norms (responsibility for business-related wrongdoing). The chapter contains a forward-looking proposal (de lege ferenda) to form the basis of the normative building blocks of a polycentric governance model for responsibility resulting from business-related wrongdoings.
