Biodiversité et droits humains

The document examines the link between biodiversity loss and human rights violations, asserting that transnational corporations drive ecological destruction through land grabbing and the marginalization of indigenous peoples. It criticizes voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) and 'due diligence' frameworks as insufficient 'false solutions' that maintain corporate impunity. The report calls for the transition from a 'stakeholder' to a 'rights-holder' approach within the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and proposes a legally binding treaty to enforce corporate accountability, mandatory free, prior and informed consent (FPIC), and the protection of environmental defenders.

• Corporate structures, characterized by complex layers of legal entities and global value chains, create an 'architecture of impunity' that prevents victims from accessing justice and holding parent companies accountable.
• The report proposes a legally binding international treaty that integrates biodiversity protection into the right to a healthy environment, mandating strict liability, extraterritorial jurisdiction, and full ecological restoration.
