CSR Law commented last week on reports that Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) [joint venture Nokia and Siemens] provided technology to Iran that the regime used to monitor and repress protesters and dissidents. (As a CSR academic and activist who was privileged to work previously for Nokia...I was not really in a position to refrain from commenting on this matter.) The latest news, as noted here, and here, is that two high-powered U.S. Senators – Schumer and Graham — are drafting bipartisan legislation that would sanction such businesses providing surveillance capabilities to Iran...The Business and Human Rights Resource Centre...also invited the company to respond...As of the time of this writing, NSN has acknowledged receipt of the Resource Centre’s invitation, and supplied the Resource Centre with its original generic denial. But no specific response has been received either by me or the Resource Centre to date...With all due respect to my friends at the company, these responses don’t exactly give full and complete answers to the concerns that have been raised.
