During this session, a panel representing the region and the various stakeholders involved in the combat against modern slavery will be discussing the legal framework and obligations for private sector in the Pacific. We will be guided by some best practices and highlight the challenges faced by state actors and businesses in further working towards eradication of contemporary forms of slavery. Furthermore, we will be elaborating on CSOs’ role in supporting the governments and businesses in meeting their obligations. This dialogue will be enriched with examples from different supply chains in the Pacific.
