The theoretical section provides a comparative analysis of key international instruments such as the UNGP, OECD Guidelines, CSDDD, and the Aarhus Convention. Differences between soft law and mandatory mechanisms, the “Brussels effect,” due diligence, and the problem of greenwashing are discussed.

In conclusion, it emphasizes the need for the joint application of national and international mechanisms to effectively ensure global ecological accountability.
