UN Global Compact summit: Final declaration falls short of effective commitments in favour of human rights
The voluntary character of the Compact “does not mean unaccountable”... [T]he International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), backs the UN Secretary General Ban-ki Moon’s warning... The declaration adopted by participants is supposed to establish a roadmap for the future of the initiative and deepen their commitment. In fact, the commitments of corporations remain extremely weak... [A]fter 7 years, no mechanism has been set up...to monitor the commitments made by corporations. As a result, corporations that directly violate or are complicit of violations of human rights, labour, anti-corruption and environmental standards would still remain members of the initiative, and publicly benefit from this adherence.
