Comments on: The Supreme Court Must Hold Nestle and Cargill Accountable https://fairworldproject.org/the-supreme-court-must-hold-nestle-and-cargill-accountable/ Fri, 11 Dec 2020 22:15:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Tom Wilde https://fairworldproject.org/the-supreme-court-must-hold-nestle-and-cargill-accountable/#comment-7127 Fri, 11 Dec 2020 22:15:18 +0000 https://fairworldproject.org/?p=18487#comment-7127 What an excellently well-written piece, Anna! Thanks for sharing the excerpt of the amicus brief — I would have missed that.

The ideas Nestle cites in defending itself are damning. On page 16, https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/19/19-416/116977/20190925125724473_Nestle%20Cert%20Petition%209.25%20Final.pdf, Nestle’s lawyers basically argue, “well, Chiquita wasn’t held liable when they shipped arms and money into Colombia, so we shouldn’t be liable either.”

I have little hope the US legal system will correct actions by chocolate corporations. This article and call to action will hopefully put more pressure on from the consumer and citizen side.

Wouldn’t Citizens United be precedent?
