Has the ICVB endorsed any recommendations for remediation of child labor in the cocoa sector?
In April 2009 Resolutions available at www.cocoaverification.net, the ICVB noted “the need for all stakeholders to ensure that their activities addressing WFCL and FAL in the cocoa sector are in line with, and contribute effectively to, the National Plans of Action and other relevant legislation of both governments,” as well as for further research into forced adult labor and trafficking. The board plans to publish more specific recommendations in spring 2010.
