¿Porqué teme la Unión Europea el establecimiento de un tratado vinculante sobre empresas transnacionales con respecto a los derechos humanos?

This statement by Friends of the Earth International criticizes the European Union for obstructing the development of a legally binding UN treaty to regulate transnational corporations regarding human rights and environmental protections.

• The European Union is accused of delaying and obstructing the UN process to create a legally binding treaty for transnational corporations, including by requesting a new resolution to restrict the intergovernmental working group's mandate, which would potentially reverse four years of progress.
• Since 2015, a UN intergovernmental working group has been developing a treaty to regulate transnational and business enterprises according to international human rights law, with a 'Zero Draft' scheduled for negotiation in October 2018.
• Friends of the Earth International asserts that for the treaty to be effective, it must include civil and criminal liability for companies and directors, supply chain transparency to prevent the evasion of responsibility, and an international human rights court for cases where national courts fail to provide justice.
• While the EU acts as an obstructionist block, some individual European states, specifically France and Switzerland, are making progress on national laws that impose legal obligations on transnational companies to avoid human rights abuses and environmental damage in their supply chains.
