The 🇩🇪 Bundestag passed today a #SupplyChain Act. Germany sets standards in the fights against child labor and forced labor. Next step: a common European regulation. #UNGP10#BizHumanRights
This law is about human rights due diligence to enforce social and environmental sustainability. Standards need to be assured through the whole supply chain. Companies that do not meet these standards will not be able to export to Germany and in future to the EU.
It’s the same #communal#fundamentalist forces who aided the Pak army to kill 3 millions innocent civilians in the name of ISLAM back in 1971 in Bangladesh, who have resorted to violence once agains to destroy peace and the secular character of the country.
As Bangladesh turns 50 this month, its successes in reducing poverty by investing in education and girls are examples that we can all learn from.
