In November 2019 I accompanied a group of volunteers and staff from Trocaire, to observe the negotiations of the UN Treaty on Business and Human Rights where we also spoke directly to representatives of the Irish and UK Governments. We amplified the voices of the 8,163 people from across Ireland who took action urging our governments to support this process.
Irish activists marched through the streets of Geneva with activists from around the world, from Peru to Palestine, demanding corporate accountability. Together we chanted: “So-so-so solidarité, avec les peoples du monde entier, solidarité” / “Solidarity, with the people of the entire world, solidarity”.
Above is the radio show I made about our days in Geneva.
Below you will find a link to Trocaire’s campaign on Business and Human Rights. Please do take a look and a listen..it is an important and far reaching campaign.
