Communities hit by agroindustry push for 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 are turning to a proposed binding treaty on business and human rights after finding domestic legal avenues closed to them, according to the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre. The item frames the treaty as a last resort for justice, arguing that voluntary corporate commitments have failed to provide remedy for land, labour and environmental harms linked to large-scale agriculture.
Why now: Negotiations over a binding UN treaty on business and human rights keep the question of corporate accountability for agroindustry harms in focus
