Interactive dialogue with the Experts’ WG on TNCs : voluntary vs binding norms

HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
44th session
15 June – 3 July 2020

[Excerpt from the declaration]

Much has been said about the importance of UNGPs as a landmark in the search for mechanisms to hold TNCs accountable for human rights violations. However, thousands of people affected by TNCs continue reporting about its high insufficiency and the systematic character of the human rights violations caused by TNCs. The only way to stop corporate impunity and guarantee full and integral access to justice is to go towards the elaboration of a binding framework to regulate TNCs activities.
