Abstract

This article examines the importance of rights-holder-driven remedy in addressing widespread abuse in global supply chains. It exposes the limitations of existing approaches and analyses the development of the Principles of Worker-Driven Remedy by Electronics Watch as a promising advancement. In particular, it emphasises the role of public buyers and public procurement in addressing power imbalances and enabling rights-holders to play a central role in their own remediation process. The practical implementation of the Principles is also discussed, highlighting the need for collaborative efforts to ensure that remedy is truly driven by those who have been harmed by human and labour rights abuse in global supply chains.
