Pourquoi l’Union européenne redoute-t-elle un traité contraignant les entreprises multinationales à respecter les droits humains?

Friends of the Earth International criticizes the European Union for hindering the UN process to create a binding treaty for multinational corporations. The author contends that the EU is attempting to reduce the mandate of the UN working group and prefers voluntary guidelines over legal accountability. The document advocates for a treaty that includes civil and criminal liability for corporate executives, supply chain transparency, and the establishment of an International Human Rights Court to ensure justice for affected communities and the protection of land defenders.

• The European Union has actively obstructed the UN treaty process, including by not attending the 2015 opening negotiations and later attempting to reduce the working group's mandate through a new resolution to potentially replace the treaty with voluntary guidelines.
• Friends of the Earth International identifies several essential components for an effective binding instrument: mandatory human rights respect, civil and criminal liability for companies and executives, supply chain transparency, and an International Human Rights Court for those lacking national justice access.
• The proposed treaty should establish operational obligations for states to prioritize human rights over trade agreements, provide reparations for affected communities, protect land defenders, and regulate international financial institutions that fund destructive projects.
