Wie fördert die EU Menschenrechte in Drittstaaten?

The EU is increasingly using unilateral methods in the field of economic regulation to spread its values and interests beyond its borders. Is it even allowed to do so, and does this live up to its own standards? EU legal acts with extraterritorial effects for the promotion of human rights—such as the CSDDD—are subject to international and EU law.

This paper examines modern regulatory methods from the perspective of classical international law, combining various topics.
