This session will discuss the
text and issues related to the Proposed Final Report of the Working Group to
Draft Human Rights Protections in Supply Contracts for the American Bar
Association Business Law Section. The hope is that the draft contract
provisions will form a part of corporate chain contracts seeking to help
eradicate labor trafficking and child labor from supply chains, making a
difference to real people—their health, safety, and freedom, and in some cases,
life and death. Adoption of policies, while a good start, is not always enough:
principles need to be put into practice. One way to do so is to put them in
supply contracts. The contracts or related documents (like purchase orders) are
what govern, and often guide, the behavior of the parties. When combined with
effective remedies for their violation and a willingness to enforce them, they
have great potential to make a difference.
A virtual business meeting was held prior to the Annual Meeting.
