It examines how state mechanisms enable or amplify these effects, raising questions of causality, accountability, and responsibility across the public\u2013private continuum. Grounded in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the project focuses on Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) as a paradigmatic case of private instrumentalization of public infrastructure and analyses how selected regional human rights courts address these challenges.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctoral Researcher Supervisor\/advisor: Prof. Dr. Dr. Patricia Wiater Contact: clara.kiesbye@fau.de LinkedIn Short Bio Clara Kiesbye studied German and Spanish law (LL.B. \/ Grado en Derecho) at the Universities of Bayreuth and Seville and completed the First State Examination in Law in 2023, specialising in international law.
