Responsible Economy
The regulation and accountability of corporations can serve as powerful vectors for the transnationalisation of fundamental rights respect.
L.D.
Enforce international rules on social and environmental grounds against multinationals, regardless of the countries where their activities are carried out (duty of vigilance and arbitration).
The Responsible Economy Commission aims to ensure not only that multinational corporations are held accountable for the conduct of their established business relationships and foreign investments but also that they redress the violations of rights they cause among their victims. The commission specifically assesses admissibility and substantive arguments to bring forth legal actions aimed at repairing human rights violations or environmental degradation committed within the context of multinational corporations’ foreign activities. Possible actions may be pursued, depending on the feasible legal grounds, before French, European, or international courts (including arbitration panels).
