Ⅴ. NHRC Recommendations︱
❸ Popularize human rights education and cultivate sensitivity to
human trafficking
Promoting greater victim awareness among all NGOs, corporate sectors,
professional associations, and even fishermen themselves is recommended.
Human rights education and exchanges can be used to introduce the 11
indicators of forced labor and cultivate sensitivity to human trafficking to
create a common language for the protection of human rights.
❹ Institutionalization of supply chain responsibility
Western countries are increasingly institutionalizing supply chain
responsibility through legislation and banning the products of forced labor
from their markets. Orders from consumption nations are being used to
exert pressure on large enterprises to take responsibility for assessing the
forced labor risks in the products or merchandise supplied by their supply
chains. Preventive and remedial actions must also be taken. Businesses
have no choice but to be proactive in dealing with forced labor issues in
their product supply chains. Taiwan is no longer on the periphery of the
global supply chain but is in fact a major trading nation. The Executive
Yuan should therefore think actively about the institutionalization of
corporate responsibilities such as “transparent supply chain” and “duty
of due diligence.” Such initiatives will contribute to harmonization with
international standards and provide businesses with a yardstick to follow.
