Thanks to initiatives such as the Toxic Tour, I was able to see how these companies destroy health and communities in Mexico. The EU has had no problem signing free trade agreements with third countries and this is deeply unfair. Along with many of my deputies, we continue to ask that we cannot put ourselves in the sidelines in the face of these human rights violations by transnational corporations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong><br \/>\nCharles Santiago.<\/strong><strong>Member of the Malaysian Parliament. Chairperson of ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights<\/strong>\u00a0stated:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u201cAt present, 43 million people have been infected by the Corona virus and more than one million have died. It is a catastrophe. Developing a Covid-19 vaccine is critical and has to be a global public good. Prices and profits need to be regulated. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) provisions in the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement need to be suspended to allow patent production of generic and bio similar products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Transnational corporations (TNCs) and rich countries are refusing to suspend IPR provisions because, they claim, it would undermine patent protection. A global mechanism must be developed to regulate big pharmaceuticals on prices, profits and IPR. Transnational corporations\u2019 \u2018business as usual approach\u2019 which prioritises profit during a global pandemic is not politically sustainable. The UN Binding Treaty is the best place to reset and enhance accountability of TNCs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong><br \/>\nDr. Manoela Carneiro Roland.

This implies establishing direct obligations for them. Transnational companies already have rights established in the 3,000 plus signed investment agreements. We need to transform the paradigm of due diligence because it is a framework that erroneously leaves the task of self-monitoring to companies. We must establish effective control mechanisms, such as an International Court that has competence to judge transnational companies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong><br \/>\nKeamogetswe Seipato.<\/strong><strong>Coordinator of the Southern African Campaign to Dismantle Corporate Power.

The African continent is a breeding ground for human rights violations. The primacy of human rights must be respected. It is a question of underlining the need for companies to be accountable because they cannot come to our countries to expand and neglect the main Human Rights Conventions. We must remember that the UN Binding Treaty must be a mechanism to help communities access redress for human rights violations \u2013 one that provides both the assistance and support affected people need.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>NOTE TO EDITORS<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">For further information or to arrange interviews you can contact:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Sol Trumbo Vila, Email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:soltrumbovila@tni.org\">soltrumbovila@tni.org<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">M\u00f3nica Vargas, Email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:m.vargas@tni.org\">m.vargas@tni.org<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Press Release issued by the Global Campaign to Reclaim Peoples Sovereignty, Dismantle Corporate Power and Stop Impunity.

For that reason, our proposal was to transform the Session into a shorter consultation, but that suggestion was not heeded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Unfortunately, the various challenges that we experienced and witnessed these past days proved that our original assessment was correct. The unprecedented conditions demanded innovative and new methodologies to achieve an efficient, representative and participatory process. The difficulties that everyone encountered in this 6th Session resulted in a less than ideal process. By comparison with 2019, when more than 90 State delegations participated, this year there was an abundance of statements but no possibility for dialogue or negotiation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">In line with civil society\u2019s call for this process to be an inter-governmental negotiation, we underscore that it is time to ensure this negotiation become a States-driven process, with ample space for civil society participation according to ECOSOC rules. This is the only way to safeguard its democratic character. The current process leaves both civil society and States in the dark regarding how inputs to the negotiation text have been included or excluded. We believe that this is not the way to move towards a substantive 3<sup>rd<\/sup> draft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">In that light, we commend the decision to have a compiled text and matrices comparing the original 2<sup>nd<\/sup> revised draft text with all of the comments and proposals from States and civil society. We would urge States to contribute to these matrices in a timely manner to ensure we have a strong basis for informing the third draft. Furthermore, we would request that the Secretariat communicate and make this opportunity broadly available to civil society so as to provide States with a full record of the inputs. This base document will be essential to clarify the degree of agreement and disagreement around each article. In addition, we ask the Chair to release the new draft in a timely manner, at least 4 months before the start of the next session, in order to give States and civil society organizations the time to analyze it and undertake the necessary consultations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of these negotiations and IGWG procedures. Therefore, the IGWG methodology for the annual face-to-face session should also be adapted to the new conditions. Given these changed conditions, we believe that it is essential to implement an inter-sessional process to advance agreements and textual revisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Last but not least, in terms of the content of the future treaty, we would like to again emphasize \u2013 as the majority of States have \u2013 the urgent need to respect the mandate of the OEIGWG established by Resolution 26\/9. The purpose of the mandate is to regulate the activities of TNCs with regards international human rights law. That is very clear and all parties must bear that in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">In the context of major difficulties and challenges, the Global Campaign reaffirms its faith in the process. Despite all the challenges we face, we have shown \u2013 through our commitment and numerous participation \u2013 that we remain fully convinced that this LBI is needed to bring justice to affected people and to put an end to the impunity of TNCs. The process is at a critical stage and with many threats looming on the horizon. Therefore, we provide our proposals and opinions to restore the vitality of this historic process and renew the commitment of delegations and civil society alike to achieving a successful, long-lasting treaty.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No dia 5 de novembro completamos 5 anos do rompimento da barragem em Mariana &#8211; MG, pertencente a empresas transnacionais.
