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

The statement by Friends of the Earth International asserts that systemic crises in climate and biodiversity are driven by a model that privileges transnational corporate profits over human rights and the environment. It advocates for a legally binding international instrument to hold these corporations accountable, proposing seven specific demands including the creation of an International Court for transnational corporations and the legal primacy of human rights over investment agreements.

• The document attributes the climate and biodiversity crises to a systemic model that prioritizes the profits of transnational corporations while ignoring environmental and human rights, leading to the monopolization of land, water, and 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 corporations to maintain power and profit.
• The author proposes seven essential demands for the UN Treaty on Transnational Corporations, which include focusing on global value chains, establishing the hierarchy of human rights over trade and investment agreements, and imposing direct legal obligations on corporations to comply with international human rights, environmental, and labor standards.
• To prevent corporations from evading responsibility in national courts, the document calls for the establishment of an International Court capable of receiving, investigating, judging, and enforcing decisions against transnational entities.
• The proposed treaty must recognize the rights of affected communities to receive compensation, information, and justice, as well as the right to reject projects that may affect them.
