UK commits to forced labour import bans
Original: Statement on the UK Government’s commitment to introduce mandatory human rights due diligence and forced labour import bans
Anti-Slavery International has issued a statement welcoming the UK Government's commitment to introduce mandatory human rights due diligence requirements and bans on imports made with forced labour. The announcement would require companies operating in Britain to check their supply chains for human rights abuses and block goods linked to forced labour from entering the UK market. Campaigners are urging the government to turn the pledge into binding legislation without delay.
Why now: The government's pledge on supply chain human rights rules is a significant policy shift that rights groups have long campaigned for.
