Transnational corporations (TNCs) systematically violate human rights, without facing any consequences.

National regulations to hold them accountable are not enough.

We need an international treaty to ensure that communities affected by TNC crimes have access to justice.

A global movement is pressuring the UN, bringing first hand experiences of transnational corporations' crimes, and writing international law from the grassroots up.

#StopCorporateImpunity

The Global Campaign to Reclaim Peoples Sovereignty, Dismantle Corporate Power and End Impunity @StopTNCImpunity is a network of over 250 social movements, civil society organisations, trade unions and communities affected by the activities of Transnational Corporations.

Since 2014, the it has been mobilizing for an ambitious and effective #bindingtreaty, to end the complicity of states in human rights violations, and ensure the regulation and accountability of corporations within and beyond their borders.

The time to act is now.

Corporations are getting too powerful in obstructing climate actions and just solutions.

At this current 8th session of the Human Rights Council at the UN in Geneva it cannot be business-as-usual.

States must be willing to do what it takes.

The role of civil society during the negotiations has to be protected, specially in view of the corporate capture taking place in many of the UN system spaces.
