Die Autorin legt dar, dass zivilrechtliche Sanktionen in Form von Schadenersatzpflichten entlang globaler Lieferketten nicht nur deutlich effektiver, sondern auch unternehmensfreundlicher sind als verwaltungsrechtliche Sanktionen, die mit einem erheblich höheren Regulierungs- bzw. Bürokratieaufwand verbunden sind.

The book analyses both the early and late philosophy of Wittgenstein. It examines the shift from the logical analysis of ideal language in the «Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus» to the grammatical investigation of ordinary language in the «Philosophical Investigations». It further tries to illuminate how Wittgenstein’s reflections on language, mind, and meaning connect to ethics and law.

In recent years, there has been a notable rise in climate change litigation directed at corporations. These legal actions target major companies, aiming to hold them accountable for their contributions to climate change. This paper examines the array of challenges plaintiffs encounter in pursuing such litigation, encompassing issues such as the lack of a solid legal basis for the claims, the proof of causation and attribution, and complexities arising from the separation of powers and legal standing. In the face of these obstacles, litigants employ certain arguments to overcome these challenges. While a rights-based approach might prove successful in some types of claims, overcoming these hurdles proves more difficult in other contexts, particularly within the current legal framework. Nevertheless, the impact of these cases might extend beyond individual outcomes, playing a role in shaping larger societal transformations and exerting an influence on corporate behavior.

Switzerland’s inbound FDI limitations are, to date, comparatively few. To protect national interests against foreign entities abusing the influence they gain by means of acquisitions of innovative domestic companies, and with one eye on the latest EU and US developments, motion Rieder (18.3021) calls for the introduction of restrictive FDI control measures. The federal council, albeit against its own position, presented a draft law (Investitionsprüfgesetz, IPG) (May 2022) stipulating clearance by the SECO for the closing of certain FDI transactions. The author examines the IPG-draft, taking into consideration the results of the consultation procedure (Vernehmlassungsverfahren). Particular attention is given to the recourse procedure against negative rulings.
