Le changement de système, la résistance, la mobilisation et la fin de l’impunité des multinationales
Summary
Friends of the Earth International calls for a systemic shift away from a profit-driven model that causes climate and biodiversity crises. The statement advocates for a legally binding UN treaty on transnational corporations and human rights, outlining seven specific demands to ensure corporate accountability, the primacy of human rights over trade agreements, and the establishment of an international tribunal for multinationals.
Key insights
- The climate and biodiversity crises are driven by a systemic priority for multinational profits over human rights and environmental protection, leading to land and water monopolies, displacement of people, and violence against human rights and environmental defenders, particularly indigenous and peasant women.
- The document proposes seven essential demands for the UN treaty on transnational corporations and human rights: focusing on value chains, prioritizing human rights over trade/investment agreements, imposing direct legal obligations on companies, ensuring accountability across the entire corporate group, creating an international tribunal, recognizing the rights of affected communities to reparation and refusal, and preventing corporate lobby capture of the political process.
