This presentation and Q&A focus on the following:
– What are the UN Business and Human Rights Guidelines and how do they relate to forced organ harvesting in China?
– What OECD complaint mechanisms exist and what are the possibilities for advocates who want to call for accountability and transparency.
– How to make a complaint to the National Contact Point in your country.
