Recommendation 25
25
Paragraph: 85
Statutory evaluation of due diligence system lacks explicit human rights impact assessment.
Conclusion
Schedule 17 requires the Secretary of State to evaluate the effectiveness of the due diligence system in the third year following its full entry into force. The Act requires an evaluation of the impact of the regime on deforestation activity, but does not explicitly require an evaluation of the impact of the system on the human rights of indigenous peoples.
