The Dutch NCP did not accept the specific instance for further examination. It concluded that while the complainant may reasonably have grievances about the issues at stake, the issues have not been substantiated in respect of the company’s responsibilities under the Guidelines. #riskmanagementsystem #remedy #duediligence #discrimination #civilandpoliticalrights #labourrights #reprisals #electronics #parallelproceedings #reprisals #localsubsidiary #ILOtripartitedeclaration #ILOconventions #Internationalhumanrightstreaties |
