We’re calling on the UK government to:

  • Introduce mandatory criteria for reporting
  • Introduce an effective Government-run registry
  • Introduce meaningful sanctions for failures to comply with the TISC provision
  • Extend the reporting requirement to the public sector
  • For the UK government to go beyond reporting and introduce mandatory human rights due diligence.
