On May 22, 2024, more than 45 international organizations, including 22 ESCR-Net members, endorsed a letter calling on the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to adopt a holistic and pragmatic policy solution in addressing inequalities in taxation, the debt crisis, and climate justice. This solution, according to signees, should embrace ongoing conversations regarding the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation as one of the essential steps to realizing the goal of urgent transformation of the global tax system to align with equality and comply with international human rights standards and principles.

As a network of over 300 social movements, Indigenous Peoples, and human rights organizations from across 76 countries, ESCR-Net – International Network for Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, members are united in our solidarity with our fellow member the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH). We affirm our unwavering demand for justice in the tragic murder of our dear friend and comrade Berta Cáceres. Berta fearlessly defended the rights of her community, of the Lenca people and other Indigenous Peoples, in their struggles for self-determination.
