Abstract
With the increasing complexity of production and international trade, commercial companies outsource the production of goods to third-world countries to reduce costs, where workers often work in poor conditions and without legal rights. These supply chains have led to labor rights violations and humanitarian disasters, prompting lawmakers in developed countries to pass regulations to establish civil liability for these companies. This article, focusing on the impact of supply chains on labor rights, first examines the foundations and criteria of civil liability of brand-owning commercial companies in the supply chain. The research findings indicate that EU laws and regulations in this area have imposed obligations on companies regarding the protection of workers' rights and the environment. Additionally, this study, through a comparative analysis of the civil liability of brand-owning companies with Iranian regulation, shows that there are legal gaps in Iranian law. Finally, it is suggested that by relying on jurisprudential and legal principles such as the rule of no harm (La zarar) and authority (Taslīt), domestic laws should be reformed so that these liabilities are more effectively enforced in the supply chain.
