Because it's a primary ethical problem, then the legal one.
Unfortunately, as Jacob pointed out, market pressure (via boycotts or similar) rarely work out in these cases, as can be seen by his examples. When human rights and ethical problems present themselves and the market fails to do the right thing (stop the wrong actions from happening) then something other than the market must step in.
