The bill was already adopted twice by the National Assembly and was rejected once by the Senate. A new rejection is expected, but social organizations are working hard to increase the possibilities for its adoption in the near future.

Real World Radio interviewed French activist Juliette Renaud, Corporate Accountability Campaigner of FOEI, to know more about the bill, its origins, the next steps if it is rejected by Senate again and the work by French organizations around the issue.

According to Juliette, this initiative is part of the work to be carried out by Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) from October 24-29 in Geneva, Switzerland, on the occasion of the second session of the Intergovernmental Working Group of the UN´s Human Rights Council that will deal with the creation of a binding treaty on corporations and human rights. In parallel to the official talks, social movements and organizations member of the Global Campaign to Dismantle Corporate Power and Stop Impunity, of which FoEI is part, will conduct in Geneva a week of mobilization in favor of this treaty.
