Meet the new SIEMBRA publication: Justicia LTDA. Current debates in business and human rights to confront the deregulation of corporate power


In this document we map the deregulation in which transnational corporations currently find themselves in the world, their causes and effects, with the aim of proposing an agenda that allows us to build a regulatory framework in business and human rights for Colombia, which must have as its horizon the enforceability of justice.

To this end, the document presents the debates that currently exist in business and human rights at the national and international levels, and a critical look at those legal or public policy instruments that are currently at the center of these debates, including the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights of Colombia, the arbitration courts and the due diligence bill, promoted by the Ombudsman’s Office.

The document raises discussions of all the relevance for the construction of an agenda that really responds to the needs of affected people and communities, and that allows putting a brake on the excessive power of corporations.
