Global Witness is concerned by the UK Government's weak commitment to addressing serious human rights abuses contributed to by UK registered and domiciled companies (UK companies) operating in conflict affected areas. As evidenced by its response to the report issued by the Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) entitled Any of our business? Human rights and the UK private sector, the UK Government refuses to take seriously concerns relating to the harm that UK companies are having on human rights abroad and continues to lack a coherent strategy for effectively dealing with these issues.
