There is the Lundin trial going on in Sweden. And there is the Lafarge case slowly moving forward in France. These are arguably the two most high-profile trials for alleged international crimes by prominent corporations and\/or corporate executives. Last week, a French court confirmed that Lafarge as a company, as well as several of its former top managers, could be tried for complicity in crimes against humanity. Our podcast partners Janet Anderson and Stephanie van den Berg invite Cannelle Lavite<\/a>, from the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights <\/a>to explain the recent decision on the Lafarge case. Courts in different countries are growingly asked to define what\u2019s the red line companies cannot cross when working in countries in conflict, and the rights and protection of those directly affected by their activities. Tara Van Ho<\/a>, Senior Lecturer at University of Essex, joins in to take stock of the progress and obstacles in holding corporations to account.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
