#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #SPAIN #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) #Spain, CGT adheres to the manifesto of the 'Alliance for Global Justice' that demands a law of extraterritorial obligations to large multinationals (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The anarcho-syndicalists want the State to force large corporations to be

responsible for the actions of their subsidiaries, suppliers or subcontractors in
terms of Human Rights. ---- The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) has made
public its support for the 'Alliance for Global Justice' initiative consisting of
demanding from the State that large multinationals cannot continue to interact in
territories with impunity, without responding to abuses and human rights
violations. ---- This group, whose manifesto has been joined by the
anarcho-syndicalists of the CGT, considers that in recent years there has been
growing concern about the impact of the action of large multinationals on
indigenous and peasant communities, and the consequences social, economic,
political, etc. that are derived from these actions. For this reason, they
indicate from 'Alliance for Global Justice', it is urgent to establish mechanisms
that control and punish the abuses of large corporations, to prevent impunity and
avoid its repetition. And in the case of the Spanish State, they explain that
despite the development of support systems, through subsidies, for the
internationalization of companies, where "good practices" are recognized, there
is still no effective mechanism that makes possible the monitoring and evaluation
to put an end to breaches in relation to respect for Human Rights.

On the other hand, from this platform they assure that human rights violations
have increased in the last decade, which goes to show that international law in
this sense is very fragile. That is why this claim is more necessary and urgent
than ever, given the global context of wars, climate crisis, energy crisis,
socio-ecological crisis and in the face of the advance of capitalism and the
inequalities between human beings in contrast to the great facilities that are it
delivers them, through the States, to the large multinationals.

 From CGT they also believe that the draft law on "the protection of Human
Rights, sustainability and due diligence in transnational business activities",
launched by the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 of the Spanish
Government, is not enough . Hence, the red and black organization supports this
proposal, with the aim of increasing inspections and public controls so that the
rights of all human beings are guaranteed in all parts of the planet.

 From CGT they have also stressed that people's lives cannot go into the
background or third plane for the benefit of large corporations, which
concentrate power in a few hands and prevent wealth from being distributed in
another way that is more supportive among citizens. .
