Sarah Joseph has posted “Transnational Corporations and Indigenous Rights” on SSRN. The paper was published by BALAYI: Culture, Law, and Colonialism.
From the abstract:
Indigenous peoples face particular threats to their human rights from the activities of transnational corporations (TNCs). Specifically, the operations of TNCs in the natural resource industries have undermined the enjoyment of traditional lands and associated human rights by Indigenous peoples. Further human rights abuses, including killings and the infliction of grievous bodily harm, have arisen in some instances where Indigenous people have organised to protest against such operations. The article will begin by briefly summarising human rights standards of special relevance to Indigenous peoples. The way in which TNCs are currently held accountable, in both international and municipal law, for abuses of those rights will then be critiqued.
