For the past 12 years, Business & Human Rights Resource Centre has tracked lawsuits brought against companies around the world to redress their negative human rights impacts. This December, we launched our Lawsuits Database, which includes the 200 cases we have profiled to date. These case profiles are but a small sample of the countless lawsuits brought against companies in an effort to hold them legally accountable and have been selected based on multiple factors including the salience of the alleged abuse, the relevance and nature of the litigation strategy, and the potential for setting legal precedent.
