Sale of children for the purpose of forced labour 2016, para. 79
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- However, ensuring effective remedy for rights violations involving the private sector requires adequate laws and policies. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has issued guidance on improving accountability and access to remedy for victims of business-related human rights abuse. It underlines the role of solid legal frameworks, which make it possible to hold companies criminally accountable for their actions, including when committed by third parties but with their contribution, through adequate procedures and deterring sanctions, effective enforcement mechanisms, coherent policy packages and support for victims in accessing remedies (see A/HRC/32/19).
