Parliamentary control over the security sector is ineffective ➡The Democracy Research Institute held a presentation of the report "Importance of Parliamentary Control over Security Sector and Current Challenges". The document is a one-year observation report on the implementation of parliamentary control over the State Security Service of Georgia, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defence, and covers the period from January 1 to December 31, 2023. ➡The weakness of parliamentary control over the security sector is one of the obstacles to European integration. The results of the one-year monitoring of the parliamentary oversight of the security sector make it clear that the main cause of the weakness of parliamentary control, along with the failure of legislative regulations, is the lack of political will necessary for the implementation of real control. https://lnkd.in/dAbmRujc

Hot off the Press! The #CSDDD was approved by the EU Parliament! For those of you wondering what this is, it's a ruling that will require larger organizations operating in the EU to take a deep look into their supply chain to determine if certain upstream and downstream suppliers use forced labor or cause damage to our environment. As mentioned, this rule applies to larger companies (those with over 1000 employees and a net turnover greater than 450M Euros). So whilst this regulation may not apply to your company, you're likely in the supply chain of a company that will be obliged to report. Best to start thinking about how you're going to support your customers. #humanrights #climatejustice #environmentaljustice
