@chris-oconnell.bsky.socialIt is my great honour to be here at the United Nations in Geneva representing @trocaire.bsky.social and supporting such couragenous human rights defenders as Udiel in advocating for a strong #BindingTreaty on #BusinessandHumanRights.
@foeint.bsky.socialTransnational corporations are violating Human Rights all over the world, not only on land but at sea.
Ravindranath Dabare (CJE / FoE Sri Lanka) explains the X-Press Pearl disaster and the struggle for justice. For communities and environmental justice, we demand a strong, legally #BindingTreaty
@foeeurope.bsky.socialThe climate crisis is not a natural disaster...
It is the result of an economic model that
🚨 extracts & exploits natural resources and
🚨 prioritises corporate profit over people & the environment
Time to hold the leaders & profiteers of said model accountable ⬇️
@foeint.bsky.socialTransnational corporations like Chevron, Total, Mekorot and Palantir are complicit in ecocide and the genocide against the Palestinian people.
These TNCs have shown egregious disregard for life, and communities need access to justice. A strong #BindingTreaty will be a #Checkmate on corporate power.
@calsza.bsky.socialNew opinion out!

@foeeurope.bsky.socialThis year could be a big year for a treaty that could deliver justice for communities who have been affected by corporate harm! ⬇️

@stoptncimpunity.bsky.social⚡PRESS RELEASE Checkmate on Corporate Impunity, UN Binding Treaty process resumes in Geneva
The 12th session of negotiations for the #BindingTreaty to regulate transnational corporations under Human Rights law starts at the UN in Geneva, Switzerland.
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgEmphasizing support for #BindingTreaty that delivers effective corporate accountability, envt. protection & access to justice, Terrence Tshisevhe of #SouthAfrica underscored need for it to protect #EHRDs, ensure just transition, prevent harm, close gaps & deliver justice.
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.org#EHRDs from #SouthAfrica, #Indonesia, #Malaysia & #Lebanon shared testimonies of how a #BindingTreaty that protects right to #HealthyEnvironment can protect people & planet, esp as it relates to anti-SLAPP protection, gender justice, Indigenous Peoples' rights & corporate accountability in conflict.
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.org"A #BindingTreaty that does not expressly include the right to #HealthyEnvironment will be incomplete from the start.”
UN @srenvironment.bsky.social Astrid Puentes urges States to adopt an ambitious instrument that strengthens corporate accountability, access to justice & #EHRDs protection.

@mguenther.bsky.socialEs ist ein intensiver Austausch mit der Zivilgesellschaft mit vielen bewegenden Beispielen, welche zeigen, welchen Unterschied ein Binding Treaty machen könne, der endlich transnationale Unternehmen für ihre Verstöße haftbar macht. #BindingTreaty #Checkmate @stoptncimpunity.bsky.social

When all doors to accountability & remedy close, panellists underscore importance of a #BindingTreaty covering all companies & entire value chain and addressing gaps in current frameworks to address harms on the ground.
