Les grandes sociétés et les droits humains ont une mauvaise relation

A statement by Friends of the Earth International highlighting the conflict between transnational corporations (TNCs) and human rights, specifically regarding environmental defenders and peasant farmers.

• A report by the Economist Intelligence Unit indicates that most companies lack an explicit human rights policy, with 17% of studied companies not viewing human rights as a business-related issue.
• Transnational corporations (TNCs) frequently cause human rights violations and environmental destruction by taking advantage of weaker regulations in foreign countries, typically developing nations.
• Large-scale commercial projects, such as palm oil plantations in Indonesia, coal mines in South Africa, and dam construction in Honduras, regularly result in environmental destruction, the ignoring of community rights, or violence.
• Governments, police, and armies often protect commercial interests during protests, and some governments rewrite laws to criminalize demonstrations or increase security rules. Additionally, private security forces working for TNCs or their local subsidiaries have been repeatedly involved in human rights violations against environmental defenders.
• Friends of the Earth International is part of an alliance calling for a binding agreement at the United Nations to hold transnational corporations accountable for abuses.
