摘要

近年来,许多跨国公司因在国外侵犯人权和破坏环境而在本国面临法律诉讼。这些跨国诉讼是为了克服企业有罪不罚现象,建立跨国责任链。与此同时,个别法律案件具有程序和法律障碍,可能给索赔人带来社会成本的风险。在本文中,我将从全球南方社会运动的角度探讨此类跨国诉讼的贡献。本文以秘鲁蒙特雷科案件为例,探讨了人权律师在这类案件中的期望以及相关的法律机制。通过关注庭外和解,我认为,从参与案例研究的全球南方行为者的角度来看,裁决和相关的司法实践是使法律生效的基础。

Transnational Human Rights Litigation
In recent years, various transnational corporations (TNCs) have faced legal proceedings in their home states for human rights violations and environmental damage committed abroad. These transnational lawsuits are an attempt to overcome corporate impunity and establish transnational chains of responsibility. At the same time, the individual legal cases are marked by procedural and legal hurdles and may entail the risk of social costs for claimants. In this article, I explore what such transnational lawsuits can contribute from the perspective of social movements in the Global South. Taking the Monterrico case from Peru as an example, I discuss the expectations of human rights lawyers in such cases and the relevant legal mechanisms. By focusing on out-of-court settlements, I argue that, from the perspective of the Global South actors involved in the case study, adjudication and the related judicial practices are fundamental to making the law effective.
