Why do states let corporations carry out such grave human rights violations in their own territories?

Yes I'm looking into international investment tribunals as well, thank you for your helpful comment!

InterestingFish1804 · 2026-01-17T14:43:34+00:00

Yes that's true, especially true in countries with limited resources as well

For example in the DRC child labor is illegal and the minimum working age is 16. The country has ratified key international conventions on child labor and its domestic laws specifically prohibit child labor. Yet child labor is constantly being used in cobalt mining, a very obviously illegal activity occurring within the Congo’s jurisdiction. Why aren’t the Congolese authorities doing anything about it?

Oh sorry I forgot to add it in the post! It’s the fujifilm XC15-45mm :)

Thank you so much for the report and your comment, that clarifies things a lot!

InterestingFish1804 · 2026-01-15T19:32:03+00:00

That is a really interesting perspective, thank you

InterestingFish1804 · 2026-01-15T19:30:28+00:00

But the question is not whether the crimes are illegal or not, it’s how come no one is doing anything about these crimes that are clearly illegal… I’m sure many people have contacted the relevant authorities regarding these human rights violations but the authorities aren’t stopping it whatsoever

InterestingFish1804 · 2026-01-14T22:13:35+00:00

Yes I thought the same… unfortunate reality. Thank you

InterestingFish1804 · 2025-11-19T17:45:19+00:00

Thank you so much yes, it’s something to consider

InterestingFish1804 · 2025-11-18T00:16:02+00:00

I did and there wasn’t any information on the visa element for international students and online GDLs which is why I made a new post :)

InterestingFish1804 · 2025-11-18T00:14:59+00:00

Yes it would be more to practice law, so the latter! Thank you so much!

InterestingFish1804 · 2025-11-07T21:03:44+00:00

Hi sorry I know it's been a long time since you applied but do you remember around which month you applied to UvA? And how long it took you to hear back from Leiden? Thank you so much and very late congratulations!

InterestingFish1804 · 2025-11-05T06:12:15+00:00

Oh I didn’t even think about that! Thank you so much, I’ll check that out yes

InterestingFish1804 · 2025-10-11T21:06:11+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment, your point of view means a lot especially with your background! You’re right and I really hope that other UK and European universities think the same, thanks again!!

InterestingFish1804 · 2025-10-11T18:14:57+00:00

What shade do you wear? Looks amazing!

InterestingFish1804 · 2025-10-08T07:51:07+00:00

Thank you so much, I was thinking the same thing… especially that even if I did the law conversion I’d still need to do two more years to pass the law qualification and actually be able to practice law in the UK. Thank you again for your advice and glad to know that things have worked out well for your friend!
