The Global Campaign to Reclaim Peoples Sovereignty, Dismantle Corporate Power and Stop Impunity (Global Campaign) is a network of over 200 social movements, networks, organisations and affected communities resisting the land grabs, extractive mining, exploitative wages and environmental destruction and the Border Walls industry of transnational corporations (TNCs) in different global regions, particularly Africa, Asia and Latin America. Since 2014, the Global Campaign participates actively in the process towards the UN Binding Treaty on TNCs and Human Rights. During this Side Event, experts from movements and organisations members of the Global Campaign will expose the proposals towards the UN Binding Treaty as well as comment on Draft Zero of the UN Binding Treaty.
