The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, which entered into force in July, allows for fines of up to 5 percent of a company’s annual global revenue if the management fails to address adverse human rights or environmental impacts.
So basically’ I don’t care about human rights or the environment, I just care about profits and will extort anyone who attempts to impact the latter’. The sooner we move to renewables and away from being dependent on twats like this the better.
Human rights don’t exist. The environment is there for humans to exploit; think about that when you drive over a paved road or when you eat food. The problem is, for the EU, is that Qatar like most countries don’t think human rights exists, so basically, the EU is taxing them over a made up concept. Who or what determines a human right? If the EU thinks that their values be attached to imports, then so be it. Business is business.
Human Rights do exist, and are protected at a International level: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_human_rights_law
The EU explicitly references these in their documentation: https://commission.europa.eu/document/download/7a3e9980-5fda-4760-8f25-bc5571806033_en?filename=240719_CSDD_FAQ_final.pdf
Qatar even has a committee specifically created to oversee Human rights, although it’s effectiveness is debatable: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Human_Rights_Committee_(Qatar)
No, human rights don’t exist. It only exists in your head. Do Palestinians have human rights? If so, where are the acute sanctions on Israel? They don’t exist. Human rights have its origins in the Christian religion, which most of the developed world consists of Christianized people. You can go to any Western country today, and still see the Christian cathedrals and churches. The past shapes the future. It is Western countries who perpetuate this. Therefore, it is culturally contingent. Again, what is a human right? Freedom of speech, right to private property, right to money, right to healthcare, right to water, and food? You’re making a belief, and opinion, as if it is a real thing. You drew no lesson from 20 years occupation of Western powers in Afghanistan. Likewise, you don’t understand the world.
I mean the links I provided detail what Human rights are. Just because some places choose not to implement them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Also Human Rights can be traced back much further than Christianity, arguably 725 BC or older: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_human_rights
You just proved certain countries have laws regarding human rights. That is all. Saying that a death row inmate should not face execution because it is a criminal’s right to human life is an opinion. There is no rational basis for such reverence.
