A/HRC/34/54/Add.3 Nghiem, Mr. Huynh Thanh Binh, Mr. Ha Le Tuan, and two children to excessive force for their participation in a peaceful protests, as well as to beatings by undercover plainclothes policemen and beatings in detention, has violated their rights to be free from torture or cruel or degrading treatment as provided by Article 1, 2 and 16 of the Convention against Torture (CAT). 542. The Special Rapporteur strongly urges the Government of Vietnam to immediately take measures to undertake prompt and impartial investigations of the allegations, to prosecute and punish those responsible, and to provide the victims with reparations in accordance with articles 12 and 14 of the CAT. Other JUA 01/06/2016 Case No. OTH 18/2016 State Reply: 16/06/2016 Allegations of psychological abuse through solitary confinement, indefinite family separation, inadequate medical care, and detrimental living conditions of asylum seekers detained at the Regional Processing Centre on Nauru, including Mr. Milad Zonar Saghar, Ms. Nages Alizadeh, Mr. Daryosh Alizadeh, Mr. Jabar Hamdavi and Mr. Musa Hamdavi. 543. The Special Rapporteur thanks Broadspectrum, contracted by the Australian government for facilities management and operational services to the Regional Processing Centre for asylum seekers in Nauru, for its reply, dated 16 June 2016, to the present communication.

As an enterprise, Broadspectrum has a responsibility to respect human rights as set out by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. (HR/PUB/11/04) “The responsibility to respect human rights is a global standard of expected conduct for all business enterprises wherever they operate. It exists independently of States’ abilities and/or willingness to fulfil their own human rights obligations…” (p. 13) While the Rapporteur welcomes the policies set out by Broadspectrum, their practical application has proven problematic. “Business enterprises should make particular efforts to track the effectiveness of their responses to impacts on individuals from groups or populations that may be at heightened risk of vulnerability or marginalization.” (p. 23) Furthermore, ���Where business enterprises identify that they have caused or 98
