Report Calls for Reform of OECD Complaint Offices

A new report analyzing the performance of the OECD’s system of state-based complaint offices found that the system is failing to bring accountability for corporate wrongdoing.  In 15 years of service and over 250 cases filed, only one percent has led to any improvement in conditions for the victims of corporate abuse. The report calls for a revision of the procedural guidance governing these offices to bring about specific improvements.  OECD Watch, a network of over 100 civil society organizations, published the report and Accountability Counsel staff attorney Caitlin Daniel served as a lead author.  See the full press release or visit OECD Watch’s website for more information.
