Advocates say voluntary guidelines need enforceable safeguards

Some human-rights advocates say voluntary guidance leaves too much room for misuse. Access Now's Natalia Krapiva said civil-society groups had pushed for mandatory technical kill switches, more transparency and stronger due diligence. Gayatri Khandhadai of the Business and Human Rights Centre said the outcome falls short of what is needed to hold the industry accountable, calling for enforceable law, limits on use, supply-chain scrutiny, and notice and remedies for victims. The question of implementation remains, too: Stimson Center's Allison Pytlak said there is no clear, coherent way to track national action and no feedback or reporting mechanism.
