Peace Brigades International (PBI) UK argues that a corporate accountability law requiring UK businesses to conduct human rights and environmental due diligence is essential for protecting communities.
Christina Challis emphasizes that a mandatory due diligence law would alleviate the burden on communities standing against corporate actions, leading to reduced risks for human rights defenders.
The report underscores the need for the UK to adopt similar mandatory due diligence laws as France, Germany, and Norway, to ensure corporate accountability.
Evidence from the report highlights numerous cases where human rights defenders in countries like Colombia, Honduras, Indonesia, and Mexico have faced brutal reprisals linked to UK corporate interests.
