Cambio de sistema, resistencia, movilización y un fin a la impunidad de las empresas

Friends of the Earth International calls for a systemic shift away from corporate-led exploitation toward social and environmental justice. The organization specifically demands a legally binding UN Treaty to hold transnational corporations accountable for human rights and environmental abuses across their entire value chains, including the creation of an International Court to enforce these obligations.

• The author asserts that the climate and biodiversity crises are caused by a system that prioritizes the profits of transnational corporations over the environment and the rights of people, leading to the monopolization of water sources, lands, and territories, as well as the displacement of peoples.
• Human rights and environmental defenders, especially indigenous and peasant women, face systematic attacks, intimidation, and murder as a criminal strategy used by transnational corporations to maintain power and profit.
• The document advocates for a legally binding UN Treaty on Transnational Corporations, negotiated in Geneva from October 14 to 19, 2019, to ensure access to justice and end corporate impunity.
• The proposed Treaty is based on seven specific demands: focusing on transnational corporations and their global value chains; prioritizing human rights over trade and investment agreements; imposing direct legal obligations on corporations regarding human rights, environment, and labor standards; holding corporations responsible for all activities including subsidiaries and supply chains; establishing an International Court for transnational corporations; recognizing the rights of affected communities to compensation and the right to reject projects; and preventing corporate influence during the treaty's preparation and implementation.
