Will you support rules to help stop corporate abuse? FOE

In June 2014, the UN Human Rights Council took the decision to develop a new treaty to stop corporate human rights abuses, following the historic demand of social movements and more than 600 organizations worldwide, united in the Treaty Alliance. Transnational corporations are directly or indirectly responsible for the majority of human rights cases involving Friends of the Earth member groups.

Sign the statement calling for regulation for Transnational Corporations

Transnational corporations get away with crimes overseas all too often because of weak legal frameworks or government collusion. Meanwhile corporate social responsibility and other voluntary guidelines provide a convenient shield to protect corporations but not the people affected.

Your support for the movement for a binding treaty will help raise awareness, show solidarity with people affected, bring corporates to justice for their human rights abuses and remind States that that the world is watching!

United, we are stronger!

Join the Treaty Alliance and sign the Joint Statement asking for:

• strong regulation of corporate human rights abuses
• new strong systems of remedy for affected people
• no undue corporate interference in the treaty-making process
