Today’s globalized economy offers more possibilities for transnational corporations to exercise undue influence on public policy through lobbying and sheer economic power. Corporate dominance is revealed in the negotiation of Bilateral and Multilateral Treaties, which continue to contribute to the exploitation of Africa and its natural resources, especially in countries with weak institutional capacity where corporations commit human rights violations and environmental harm beyond the reach of accountability. RLS Southern Africa aims to strengthen the capacity of organizations which focus on the protection of human, environmental, and labour rights.
