A/HRC/30/35 53. An example of good practice is the multi-stakeholder public-private platform Project Issara63 initiated by Anti-Slavery International to tackle modern slavery in South-East Asia, with an initial focus on forced labour in the export-oriented industries of Thailand that affect global supply chains. Another well-known example of a multi-stakeholder privatepublic initiative is the National Pact for the Eradication of Slave Labour in Brazil, which brings companies together to combat slave labour with the assistance of ILO, nongovernmental organizations (including Repórter Brasil and Ethos) and support from the Government. Over 400 companies and trade associations had signed the pact as of May 2014, including large companies such as Walmart Brazil, committing not to do business with people and companies involved with slave labour.64 54. Multi-stakeholder initiatives help to address questions of credibility and effectiveness that have surrounded business-only and corporate social responsibility strategies. They offer a more inclusive model as they involve various stakeholders and thus provide a long-term solution to addressing risks to contemporary forms of slavery in supply chains. Those multi-stakeholder platforms that are genuinely premised on social partnership and involve trade unions have the additional benefit that they can ensure collaboration across a number of initiatives including public-policy advocacy and grievance resolution. 55. Investors have also begun to play an increasing role in requiring human rights due diligence. 65 Furthermore, civil society actors have been at the forefront of challenges to contemporary forms of slavery in supply chains66 and civil society “naming and shaming” of companies has resulted in some businesses responding positively by adopting or adjusting their policies and practices. 67 A welcome initiative in the reporting context is the recently launched United Nations Guiding Principles Reporting Framework, which provides guidance for companies to report on how they respect human rights. 68 F. Corporate legal liability and access to remedies in cases involving contemporary forms of slavery in supply chains 56. States have a duty under international human rights law to ensure the right to a remedy, including equal and effective access to justice and adequate, effective and prompt reparations for human rights violations. For victims of gross violations of international human rights law, such as slavery and slavery-like practices, full and effective reparation may take the following forms: restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition.69 In the third pillar of the Guiding Principles on Business and 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 16 www.projectissara.org. For signatories, see www.pactonacional.com.br The Interfaith Centre on Corporate Responsibility “No fees” Initiative targets the risk of debt bondage faced by migrant workers resulting from fee-charging for recruitment and employment services and uses the strength and influence of investors to target 12 companies in the palm oil and seafood sectors to clearly demonstrate their commitment to respect human rights (www.iccr.org/no-fees-initiative). A well-known example is the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, which mobilized consumers in the Campaign for Fair Food and led to successful prosecutions for slavery on tomato farms in the United States. For example, after a report by the Fair Labor Association that Nestlé was using child labour in its cocoa supply chain, the company strengthened its Nestlé Cocoa Plan, adopting all recommendations. (The case is cited together with other examples in the International Corporate Accountability Roundtable, “Persisting Harm: Corporate Responsibility and Accountability for Human Trafficking and Slavery” (forthcoming, on file).) See www.ungpreporting.org. Early adopters include Unilever, Nestlé, H&M and Newmont. Right to an effective remedy for violations of international human rights law can be found in a number of international and regional instruments.
