Human rights violations by multinational companies

It will soon be six decades since the states of sub-Saharan Africa gained their independence and launched numerous industrialization projects, following the discovery of a large quantity of raw materials, in this case natural resources, a factor in development. But also, many years of human rights violations in the triptych multinationals - populations - natural resources. These violations include land rights, environmental degradation, the right to a healthy environment and the right to health. In order to guarantee compliance with the legal standards that protect human rights, it is imperative that multinationals observe the texts, as the most salient aspect of these violations is that they affect women in particular, who pay a heavy price. However, although the legal framework for the protection of human rights in the face of the activities of multinationals has been defined, various violations persist.
