Author aut The Legal Form of Animals in Global Value Chain Law - And What It Says About How Law Constructs The Social Condition Kjaer, Poul F. Verfassungsblog 2025-07-01 Text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union makes no mention of animals—a silence that reflects a broader pattern across EU law, including in Global Value Chain Law (GVC Law), which governs the legal infrastructures of global economic activity. Animals hold no particular legal status in this domain, revealing striking parallels in how law has historically shaped and domesticated both human and animal life. Rethinking this shared legal trajectory sheds new light on the social condition underpinning the fundamental values of EU law.
