This briefing aims to open a new public debate on the operations of European TNCs and introduces :
• key issues of violations of peoples’ rights in the TNC cases presented to the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal
• an analysis of the architecture of impunity in which TNCs operate in LAC and in Europe and the role of EU policy mechanisms and instruments in this as well as the role of LAC governments
• proposals for an alternative regulatory framework for TNCs which goes beyond voluntary mechanisms and Corporate Social Responsibility.
