Name of Resource | Executive Order 13126—Prohibition of Acquisition of Products Produced by Forced or Indentured Child Labor |
Type | Legislation |
Country / jurisdiction | United States of America |
Enacting authority | President |
Entry into force / date of approval | 12 June 1999 |
Description | Executive Order 13126 is intended to ensure that U.S. federal agencies do not procure goods made by forced or indentured child labour. That goal is consistent with current laws that, among other things, outlaw the importation of products made by forced or indentured child labour. Under procurement regulations implementing the Executive Order, federal contractors who supply products on a list published by the Department of Labor must certify that they have made a good faith effort to determine whether forced or indentured child labour was used to produce the items listed. |
