[IRP] EU selects ICT sector for study on implementing corporate responsibility to respect human rights

Fri Feb 17 18:01:34 EET 2012

This is a for the moment quite common WordPress hack that is trying to
promote viagra sites. If not anyone get to this before me I can find info
on how to tackle this when my kids have gone to bed.

Who is in charge of the site atm? Robert Bodle, right? Should we connect
offlist?
