Business and human rights legislation and the enforcement question—a report by Kingsley Napley LLP and Dr Rachel Chambers
Globally, a trend is taking shape towards legislation which goes further than the reporting obligations of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, in the area of business and human rights. The EU is currently consulting on a proposed mandatory due diligence human rights law to be enacted in 2021. These proposals are similar to those passed in France in 2017 and narrowly defeated in a 2020 Swiss referendum. Calls are increasing for the UK to follow suit. How could a compulsory UK human rights due diligence (HRDD) law improve the enforcement and legal landscape for victims of cross-border human rights abuses? And what support and powers would a regulator need to be effective? A group of UK civil society organisations commissioned research on these questions. This article summarises the key findings of the paper.
