supply law enforcement equipment if they consider that there is a risk that it could be used in the
commission of human rights abuses.
The due diligence process should also include a mechanism to monitor the use of the equipment sold.
Human rights organisations, potentially affected stakeholders and their representatives should be
given the opportunity to feed into this mechanism. When the equipment has been used in violation
of human rights standards, the company should act to mitigate the adverse impact, prevent any
further violations and provide remedy to the victims. Actions may include using any leverage the
company may have to alter the end user’s behaviour, providing training and considering suspending
or terminating the business relationship.
