RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS CONDUCT AND FORCED LABOUR

UNDERSTANDING THE ELIMINATION OF FORCED LABOUR AND ILO CORE CONVENTIONS FOR EFFECTIVE HUMAN RIGHTS DUE DILIGENCE

Introduction to the course

The eradication of forced labour is a fundamental human right, recognized by the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the UN Human Rights Declaration and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. While progress has been made worldwide, still over 28 million workers are in a situation of forced labour, of which 86% occurs in the private sector. This course looks into how companies, development finance institutions, state-owned enterprises and procurement agencies, can contribute to the eradication of forced labour in their own operations and business transactions through responsible business conduct and effective human rights due diligence (HRDD).
