Official FoEI contribution to the second session of the open-ended intergovernmental working group on Transnational Corporations

Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) provides a contribution to the second session of the open-ended intergovernmental working group on Transnational Corporations, advocating for a legally binding UN Treaty to address corporate impunity and human rights violations.

• FoEI supports the creation of an international legally binding instrument on transnational corporations (TNCs) and other business enterprises regarding human rights, following UNHRC resolution 26/09 from 2014.
• FoEI argues that a binding UN Treaty is necessary to address a pattern of impunity where TNC operations lead to systemic human rights violations and environmental crimes, which specifically impact victims and Environmental and Human Rights Defenders (EHRDs).
• FoEI calls for the second IGWG session to facilitate detailed discussions on specific mechanisms and provisions for a future treaty, emphasizing that victims and EHRDs should be central to the process.
