CORE believes there is a real need for the UK Government to do more in ensuring UK companies respect internationally agreed human rights standards in relation to their overseas operations...Based on the key practical and systemic issues I have outlined, I believe the JCHR could play an instrumental role in preventing human rights abuses occurring by UK companies operating abroad by investigating the three following issues: 1. Is the UK Government doing what it should to prevent harm caused by UK companies aboard? 2. What steps could the Government take to ensure human rights are more effectively enforced in relation to UK businesses abroad? 3. What should the Government do to ensure that victims of human rights abuses caused by UK companies obtain effective remedy?
