So pleased to have this in print with Rachel Rafferty & @DrAmyMaguire. #NGOs play a crucial role in #transitionaljustice & 'glocalising' through engagement with the #UN could strengthen that. @UWAPPI

While we would have liked to see the review go even further and recommend an enforceable duty on biz to prevent modern slavery, these recs, if implemented, will substantially strengthen the current law. @justine_nolan @AmyJSinclair @FixoTweets @martijnboersma @shelley_marshal
