On #WorldFisheriesDay, we recognize the migrant fishers who work in dangerous & exploitative conditions to put tuna on the world's dinner plates. 👇@upyorkshire shines a light on forced labor & abuse in the tuna supply chain & what we can do about it.

NEW: Our investigation finds a tuna supply chain riddled with exploitation and abuse - where fishermen spend months or even years at sea. Some describe threats, beatings and deception over pay. The fish they catch still ends up on the world's plates. ig.ft.com/supermarket-tu…

Louisiana is not only a picturesque touristic destination, it is also a global epicentre for the #fossilfuel and #petrochemical industry ! @hrw's partner Joy Banner calls on MEPs "not to give up on CSDDD" euobserver.com/eu-and-the-wor…

Last week’s statement on a US-EU trade deal reveals Europe seems ready to concede to US pressures on vital Green Deal laws - including CSDDD. The latest opinion piece from @HeidiHautala + @pbloomer explores implications + options for Europe's leaders: bhrrc.org/en/blog/to-lea…

The US fossil fuel industry is using the EU-US trade deal to undermine an EU law requiring companies to reduce their climate impacts and tackle corporate abuses worldwide. European parliamentarians should fight back: hrw.org/news/2025/08/2…

"Import bans shut the door on goods made with forced labor. They punish exploiters, provide remedies to workers, and force real change." @HTLegalCenter's Human Rights & Trade Policy Director Anasuya Syam & President Martina Vandenberg in @openDemocracy: opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-traf…

There are no magic fixes, but Section 307 of the US Tariff Act delivers results. Import bans blocking forced-labor tainted goods from the US market have led to more than $62 million in back wages & fees returned to workers. Read our @openDemocracy oped:  opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-traf…

We stand in solidarity with the Indonesian fishers who have filed a human trafficking lawsuit against US tuna brand Bumble Bee. It is never easy for individuals to go up against influential corporations, but they are. Join us in standing with them: act.gp/solidarity-wit…

Most people want a livable planet and fair treatment from businesses. European parliamentarians should resist corporate lobbying against a law that requires businesses to tackle climate change and address their role in human rights abuses. hrw.org/news/2025/07/0…

"...They see 2.6x times higher shareholder returns and 4.7x times higher operating margins. And companies with strong due diligence systems will be more resilient as ESG risks become more acute in a climate-changing world.” @Public_Citizen

“Aggressive corporate lobbying by the American Chamber of Commerce to the European Union, threats from the Trump administration, and concerns from Republican members of Congress led to an EU Omnibus proposal to drastically weaken...[the CSDDD]" @publiccitizen

Corporate lobbying threatens landmark legislation that protects people and the planet across corporate supply chains

Oversight rules requiring internal review of charges against public officials were eliminated, allowing Trump’s political appointees to bring prosecutions without checks. This severely undermines accountability and the rule of law (2/2): reuters.com/investigations…

In addition to FCPA cuts, the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section, responsible for prosecuting political corruption, has lost its authority to file new cases. Its staff was cut from over 30 attorneys to just 5. (1/2)
