Comunicado de la campaña global sobre el 3er borrador revisado del tratado vinculante

The Global Campaign for People's Sovereignty, Dismantling Corporate Power and Ending Impunity criticizes the third revised draft of the binding treaty (published August 17, 2021) as being largely superficial and ineffective. The campaign argues that the draft fails to establish direct obligations for transnational corporations, relies too heavily on limited 'due diligence' concepts, and lacks international enforcement mechanisms. It warns that the current trajectory favors corporate interests and risks creating a 'normative trap' that preserves corporate impunity rather than ensuring human rights and environmental protection.

• The third revised draft of the binding treaty is characterized as containing mostly cosmetic and rhetorical changes that fail to address structural problems identified by affected communities and social movements.
• The draft is deemed ineffective because it focuses exclusively on State obligations and does not establish direct obligations for transnational corporations, which is necessary to hold them accountable for human rights violations.
• The campaign identifies several critical gaps in the draft, including the lack of a clear primacy of human rights over trade agreements, the absence of international enforcement and control mechanisms such as an international court, and insufficient definitions regarding global value chains.
• The current approach to corporate legal responsibility is criticized for being overly reliant on 'due diligence', which the campaign argues could allow transnational corporations to evade responsibility simply by completing a due diligence process.
