Debadatta's research focuses on the conceptual sustainability of legal liability for directly linked enterprises, as under the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights, in recent human rights due diligence legislations. This research fuses legal theoretical discussions on the morality and ethics of corporate respect for human rights with a relational justice account of private law to discern how corporate liability can be sustained throughout the supply chain and how human rights due diligence plays a legal role in doing so.
