Communities hit by agroindustry pin hopes on binding UN treaty
Original: All doors closed? Communities affected by agroindustry turn to a binding treaty in struggle for justice
Communities affected by agroindustrial operations say they have exhausted national courts and complaint mechanisms, leaving them without remedy for harms linked to plantations and agribusiness. They are now turning to the proposed binding treaty on business and human rights, arguing voluntary corporate commitments have failed and international law must hold companies accountable for land grabs, pollution and labour abuses.
Why now: Ongoing negotiations around a legally binding UN treaty on business and human rights give affected communities a new avenue for justice
