Abstract
The detection and prevention of transnational environmental crime poses a challenge for regulation. Private enterprises, operating within and across global supply chains, could play an important role, as regulatory surrogates, in addressing the problem. Emerging mandatory due diligence for human rights and environmental impacts has the potential to support more traditional criminal law enforcement responses to transnational environmental crime. However, important questions remain about whether these measures are sufficiently targeted or well structured to be effective.
