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.
“It is a very tortuous process, especially when the victims are the poorest people, those with the least access to resources...”
Quelvin Jiménez, lawyer for the Xinka Parliament, speaks about the struggles for indigenous communities in Guatemala to access justice in the fight to protect their land.

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

Incredibly proud to be here in Geneva advocating for a #bindingtreaty on #businessandhumanrights in the company of such a strong and committed defender as Margarita. Those who defend life should be celebrated - instead in our upside down system they are attacked and imprisoned. We need a Treaty.
"We are triply discriminated against: for being indigenous, for being women, and for being poor.’

Aid that goes through the junta doesn't reach the people. It fuels further suffering, not relief.
Support locally led efforts that truly serve those in need.

From the coffee we drink to the clothes we wear, every supply chain holds a story. Some are stories of empowerment. Others are built on exploitation.
