Annual Report. No German Arms to Israel. Bayer's Toxic Business
Newsletter
2024
ECCHR just released its 2023 Annual Report, this year with a focus on the German Supply Chain Act. To launch the report, we invited Dr. Bärbel Kofler, Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, and our long-standing partner Nasir Mansoor, Head of the Pakistani National Trade Union Federation, to discuss the significance of this law and its potential impact on human rights in the Global South.
In April, we filed a lawsuit that aims to stop German arms exports to Israel, in response to the unprecedented number of civilians killed in Gaza. We also filed a complaint against Bayer for the destructive effects of its soy seed and agrochemical business. Finally, the proceedings against civilian sea rescuers in Italy have been discontinued – with all defendants acquitted. Learn about these cases, among others, in this newsletter.
