✊ 11TH SESSION #BINDINGTREATY NEGOTIATIONS WRAP

The last day of the 11th session of the Binding Treaty negotiations just concluded and it's been a powerful week. Dipti Bhatnagar from @JusticiaAmbiental reports:

@stoptncimpunity.bsky.social @foeint.bsky.social @tninstitute.bsky.social

🔍 Recomendamos seguir las negociaciones del #BindingTreaty, el tratado vinculante de la ONU sobre empresas y DDHH.

📌 El @business-humanrights.org publica resúmenes diarios con los puntos clave de la 11.ª sesión del Grupo de Trabajo Intergubernamental.

⚖️ JOINT & LIABILITY IN #BINDINGTREATY NEGOTIATIONS

We welcome the inclusion of joint & several liability in the treaty but the current wording has some loopholes that let corporations off the hook.

We demand a #BindingTreaty that regulates transnational corporations throughout the value chain, centres affected communities and ensures reparations and non-repetition of human rights violations

#HumanRights must prevail over profit. Alongside
@stoptncimpunity.bsky.social, we're fighting for life

Why are organisations like @Trocaire that work toward social and environmental justice calling for a #bindingtreaty on #businessandhumanrights? Here Quelvin Jimenez from our Guatemalan partner @PAPXIGUA outlines the reasons.

⚖️ #BINDINGTREATY ON PREVENTION, REDRAFTING ON DEBATE

Chair's redraft of Articles 4-11 — shared only days before
⏰FIRST: States and CSOs need written input time until at least February 2026.

You can't drop major redrafts at the last minute and expect thorough analysis

@stoptncimpunity.bsky.social

A Treaty would ensure companies be held liable for their actions, allowing for sanctions, withdrawal of licenses and criminal liability for severe abuses and impacts.

It’s simple: we need a treaty, and we need one now! #BusinessAndHumanRights #BindingTreaty @cidse.bsky.social @eccjorg.bsky.social

On Day 4 of the negotiations for a #bindingtreaty for #businessandhumanrights @trocaire.bsky.social partner Udiel Miranda, Director of COPAE Guatemala, called on states to support the Chair's proposals for joint and several liability all corporate actors involved in human rights violations.
