Nouvelle version du traité contraignant de l’ONU a « perdu son âme »

The Global Campaign criticizes the August 2020 draft of the UN legally binding instrument on transnational corporations, arguing it has 'lost its soul' by diluting its scope and failing to include critical protections for human rights and accountability for global value chains.

• The Global Campaign argues that the new draft treaty fails to meet the objectives of UN Human Rights Council resolution 26/9 because it extends its scope to all companies indiscriminately, rather than focusing specifically on those with transnational activities.
• The document identifies several critical omissions in the draft, including the lack of recognition of transnational corporations' obligations to respect human rights, the absence of references to global value chains, the lack of an international court for enforcement and sanctions, and the failure to establish the primacy of international human rights law over trade and investment agreements.
• The draft is criticized for failing to address the power imbalance between large transnational corporations and states, particularly in the Global South, and for weakening the liability of parent or controlling companies and joint and several liability along the value chain.
• The Global Campaign asserts that the COVID-19 pandemic creates barriers to the participation of civil society and affected communities, particularly in the Global South, and therefore argues that the sixth session of the working group should be used for consultations rather than formal negotiations to maintain legitimacy.
