  • The Revised Draft, presented by Ecuador on July 16, is criticized for diluting the scope of the treaty by expanding it to cover all companies rather than focusing specifically on transnational corporations, which the organization argues contradicts the mandate of Resolution 26/9 of 2014.
  • The document is deemed insufficient because it only holds States responsible for preventing or remedying human rights violations, failing to create international jurisdiction or direct obligations for transnational corporations to be judged for non-compliance.
  • The draft fails to address the joint responsibility of parent companies for the actions of various entities within their global production chains, such as subsidiaries, providers, or subcontractors.
  • There is growing mobilization in Africa, with the African Group and countries like South Africa supporting the instrument to combat systemic corporate impunity in the region.
