This is crucial. We have heard unchallenged at multiple points that there would have to be audits and that companies would have to do something new. My point, which I think is extremely relevant and I would like confirmed, is that companies should already be doing the kind of auditing that Mr. O'Brien has mentioned, including in respect of human rights. A failure to comply with international law would contribute to what have been described as human rights violations.
