Anglo-America in #SouthAfrica: a History of Abuses and Violations.

This week La Via Campesina joins @StopTNCimpunity campaign in Geneva at the intersessional negotiations for a #BindingTreaty to hold transnational corporations accountable for their human rights violations.

Are there companies that support the #BindingTreaty process?
There has been push back from corporations even on voluntary due diligence obligations. Corporations make ESG commitments instead – we see energy companies painting crèches instead of reducing their carbon emissions

For 31 years, @udapt_oficial has fought what is now @Chevron for poisoning the Amazon, destroying their land, lives and bodies.
Their struggle is a testament to the need for a #BindingTreaty!
A reminder on the last day of negotiations: This struggle goes well beyond the UN

We took the streets of Geneva today for a #ToxicTour with the Swiss Coalition against @Glencore, showing how @BlackRock, @jpmorgan, and @UBS are deeply intertwined in Glencore’s global web of #HumanRights violations

"Human rights violators shouldn't have a say in how they're regulated and held accountable. To allow corporations to be represented here is to allow the fox to plan the security system of the henhouse."

"Only by centering and focusing on the communities affected by corporate crimes, and with sufficient resources, can we secure reparations and restore justice through the #BindingTreaty"

Corporations waltz into the #BindingTreaty negotiations under the guise of civil society as if they were the same as the communities they threaten and k*ll.
Business associations are TNC Lobbies. Let's call them what they are: the voice of corporate crime

"Only corporations violating human rights need to be afraid, and they SHOULD be afraid. While they count the profits, the communities count the dead."

The threat of transnational corporations to the #BindingTreaty is CLEAR
The TNC Lobby tries to influence negotiations while civil society, affected communities and social movements are marginalised
We will be heard. TNC Lobby, your days at the #BindingTreaty are numbered

“Corporations are profiting from conflict, occupation, colonisation, pollution and more. This is the brutal reality the Global South faces, speaking to the urgency of regulating and sanctioning transnational corporations that violate human rights."

Don't be shy @iccwbo @ioevoice, let's call you by your actual name: TNC Lobby! Here to delay, derail and dodge accountability for corporate #HumanRights violations
Kick transnational corporations out of the #BindingTreaty negotiations!
Do you want us to show you the door?👋
