Oral Intervention by Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) at Human Rights Council 37th Session March 9, 2018
Summary
CIEL advocates for a binding treaty to protect human rights from the influence of transnational corporations in investment agreements, specifically calling for guaranteed access to information, participation in decision-making, and justice through grievance mechanisms.
Key insights
- International investment agreements often grant transnational corporations (TNCs) procedural rights that allow them to exert undue influence over a host State's public policy, which can prevent the State from safeguarding human rights.
