The committee says: "The committee, chaired by Harriet Harman QC MP, said evidence indicates that the government’s approach to business and human rights is ‘weakest’ in the area of remedy."

The Government says: 'The government is committed to promoting the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as the framework for encouraging responsible business performance.'

Of course the Government can be as "committed" and "promoting" as much as it wants, but without effective enforcement it might as well not give any rights because they will not benefit people. Surely the Government is not simply issuing pointless platitudes...?
