12 April Five Years Later: Rana Plaza and the Pursuit of a Responsible Garment Supply Chain

The conference brings together key (trans)national policy-makers and civil society members involved in the aftermath of the Rana Plaza collapse. It is designed to serve as a platform for practitioners and academics to reflect on the steps taken to remedy the harm suffered by the victims of the Rana Plaza catastrophe and on the regulatory mechanisms introduced to ensure that it will never reoccur.

Our first panel will focus on the avenues available to hold individuals and companies legally accountable for the harm caused by the collapse. The second panel will discuss the transnational (public and private) regulatory responses to the tragedy, addressing health and safety in the Bangladeshi garment industry, and other aspects connected to the regulation of the garment value chain. Finally, the last panel will look at the (soft and hard) regulatory developments at the national level in response to the Rana Plaza collapse.
