Child labour call over cotton firms [Uzbekistan]

The Government has been urged to investigate two British cotton traders accused of breaching international guidelines on child slavery. The European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) has filed complaints in the UK against Cargill Cotton and ICT Cotton, calling for an investigation into whether the companies "have contributed substantially to maintaining the use of child and forced labour in the Uzbek cotton production"...Cargill Cotton said it had raised concerns over child labour with the Uzbek government and that it was important to find "sustainable solutions, whilst fostering responsible economic development".
