Please also share with your friends and colleagues, particularly those in Europe, as the more awareness generated of this ground-breaking case the better, putting pressure on global arms corporations to comply with human rights standards in the OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises.
The Australian National Contact Point of the OECD is due to publish its initial assessment of the Starkeys’ complaint in coming weeks, hopefully as soon as mid-March.
Stay tuned! We will certainly report to you again when the outcome of this fascinating and globally significant case is available.
