The Global Compact Network Thailand (GCNT), in collaboration with the Rights and Liberties Protection Department, Ministry of Justice, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), held the 6th National Dialogue on Business and Human Rights on the theme “Strengthening access to remedial mechanisms and complaints handling for migrant workers in Thailand”, which is one of the key elements of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs).
