@airfrance@IndiGo6E lost luggage from Berlin to Colombo via Bangalore. Impossible to speak to customer service to receive update. No response in +24 hours. Shameful
VW finally exits JV with SAIC, after consistently denying any Uyghur forced labour risks. BUT still failing to comply with #LkSG on these risks in wider China supply chain, as argued in @ECCHRBerlin complaint last year https://t.co/VNDj5rdJUN
Some good news (finally!) for cases under the #Lieferkettengesetz. In case filed by @AstacEcuador BAFA recognises that complainants (inc. trade unions and workers) must be involved in the proceedings and have access to the case files
📢Großer Erfolg für die ecuadorianische Gewerkschaft @AstacEcuador: Das BAFA erkennt ASTAC endlich als Verfahrensbeteiligte an und gewährt der Gewerkschaft Akteneinsicht! Eine insgesamt positive Entwicklung für Beschwerden nach dem #Lieferkettengesetz. 👉https://t.co/qmoRod5uOH
! Lafarge & former executives to stand trial for financing terrorism in Syria. But a long way to justice for the former employees plaintiffs in the case filed by @Sherpa & @ECCHR in 2016:charges on complicity in crimes against humanity are still pending. https://t.co/OTi27E0h0l
No due diligence measures including audits can effectively identify or prevent SIFL in the Uyghur Region. The only appropriate response under the LkSG is disengagement of biz relationships https://t.co/autToTNB1r
Unsurprisingly, the supposed "audit" of VW's factory in Urumqi doesn't meet international standards, and demonstrates its continued failure to comply with the #LkSG. BAFA must investigate following our complaint last year https://t.co/THR70MuWrz
VW versuchte, mit einem Prüfbericht den Vorwurf der Zwangsarbeit in seinem Werk in der uigurischen Region zu entkräften. Recherchen von ZDF, Spiegel und FT zeigen aber: Die Behauptung, die Beschäftigten dort seien keinen Menschenrechtsverletzungen ausgesetzt, ist nicht haltbar.
Structural power imbalances in supply chains continue despite HRDD laws. To close the persistent accountability gap for the rights of garment workers these laws must be ambitious and effectively enforced
Today marks the 12th anniversary of the Ali Enterprises tragedy, when 260 workers lost their lives. German discount retailer #KiK was the factory's main client- it should have acted to improve safety conditions
Heute vor 12 Jahren führten unzureichende Brandschutzmaßnahmen in der Textilfabrik Ali Enterprises in Pakistan zum Tod von 260 Arbeiter*innen. Dabei hätte der damalige Hauptkunde, der deutsche Discounter KiK, die Arbeits- und Sicherheitsbedingungen verbessern können und müssen.
With @ntufpakistan +@FEMNET_eV we engaged with KiK to address these issues at one supplier. In June we suspended negotiations after KiK failed to take responsibility for its role in improving working conditions https://t.co/dbhI4tifCE

Big news in our case today against EDF under the LdV - after 4 years of procedural battles we can now move on to the substance of the claim. Important win for access to justice! 💪
🚨The Paris Court of Appeal admitted the civil lawsuit filed by the Mexican indigenous community Unión Hidalgo vs French energy giant EDF. It further clarified crucial steps regarding access to justice for future cases under France’s Duty of Vigilance Law. https://t.co/888qsk8nfb
Completely nonsensical proposal to suspend the application of the LkSG until the CSDDD is implemented. Shameful prioritisation of business interests over human rights in supply chains https://t.co/5lVXdU0Nhn
Ahead of VW's AGM this week, investors must demand that the company takes urgent action re. ongoing risks of state-imposed forced labour and potential non-compliance with the LkSG
“Volkswagen’s ‘In China, for China’ strategy shouldn’t mean complicity in forced labor.”
New press release from @hrw and @ECCHRBerlin ahead of VW shareholder meeting on May 29.
