[PDF] Kiobel, et al. v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, et al. - Brief of Amici Curiae Human Rights and Labor Organizations in Support of Plaintiffs'-Appellants' Petition for Rehearing and for Rehearing En Banc

Amici curiae are eleven human rights and labor organizations concerned with the enforcement of international law, including remedies against corporations. (A full list of amici and their interests is attached.) Amici believe that international law is primarily enforced through domestic mechanisms and that there is a global consensus that corporations are subject to human rights law. Limiting accountability for human rights violations to norms and actors subject to international tribunals, excluding abuses committed or abetted by corporations, among others, would severely undermine global efforts to protect human rights, contrary to the efforts of amici.
