The European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ) has welcomed the framework developed by John Ruggie... I think it is no secret that what we NGOs like the most out of the “Protect, Respect and Remedy” is the fact that states have been put back in the picture and are actively called back on the negotiating table as key agents for change. Secondly, and even more important maybe, we are glad to see that redress for victims has been included in the framework as an nonnegotiable right. After all, the existence of affected communities who cannot get redress is the very reason why we are here today.
