U.S. Supreme Court Rules Child Slavery Is Fine As Long As Its Not On U.S. Soil

Click to see full-size image

On June 24th, a US Supreme Court ruled in favor of corporate giants Nestlé USA and Cargill, which were sued more than a decade ago by six men who say the two companies were complicit in child trafficking and profited when the men were enslaved on cocoa farms as children.

The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 against the plaintiffs, saying they had not proven the companies’ activities in the U.S. were sufficiently tied to the alleged child trafficking.

Neal Katyal, former acting solicitor general under the Obama administration, represented the two companies and also argued that they could not be sued for complicity in child trafficking because they are corporations, not individuals.

Katyal’s position could be considered “radical” and “extreme,” taking in mind the nine justice’s skepticism about his defense of the companies—but the court ultimately sided with him.

The plaintiffs, who are from Mali and say they are survivors of child trafficking and slavery in Côte d’Ivoire, filed their lawsuit under the Alien Tort Statute, an 18th century law which allows federal courts to hear civil actions filed by foreigners regarding offenses “committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States.”

In recent years the Court has limited when the law can be invoked in court, arguing it cannot be used to file a lawsuit when the offense was committed “almost entirely abroad,” according to the New York Times.

The U.S. Department of Labor recently reported that the use of child labor on family farms in cocoa-growing areas of Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana increased from 31 percent to 45 percent between 2008 and 2019.

The corporations “should be held accountable for abetting a system of child slavery,” said Paul Hoffman, a lawyer for the plaintiffs.

EarthRights International, which filed an amicus brief with the court on behalf of the plaintiffs, called the ruling “a giant step backward for U.S. leadership on international law and protecting human rights.”

“The ruling implies that U.S. corporations whose executives decide, from comfortable American boardrooms, to profit from murder, torture, and slavery abroad cannot be sued in U.S. federal courts for violating international law,” said Marco Simons, general counsel for the organization. “This ruling has disturbing implications for future victims of human rights abuses seeking justice against businesses in U.S. courts. This ruling also sets a dangerous precedent, giving corporations impunity for profiting from human rights abuses.”

“In light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal today to protect victims of corporate human rights abuses, it is imperative that Congress take action,” said Simons. “We call on Congress to clarify U.S. courts’ responsibilities to enforce international law, reassert U.S. leadership on human rights, and provide remedies to victims of the most serious human rights abuses by enacting binding legislation that holds corporations accountable for violating human rights.”

As such, several things can be concluded from the outcome of the case:

  1. A corporation cannot be sued for human trafficking, because it is not an ‘individual’.
  2. Human trafficking is fine, if the majority of the crime was done off U.S. soil, even though it was carried out by a U.S. company.
  3. And, similarly to the first conclusion – child slavery is also acceptable, if it’s not on U.S. soil.

You are a shameless, self-righteous hypocrite. Guess who were the first to abolish slavery? The White race. And who were the last? Muslims. And the jews always held a monopoly over slave trades. They have been in control of both the west and east, no White man is in charge of any country on earth.

The whites lied. Qathafi, did among many other things the “whites” would never, ever do was stop slave trafficking through Libya. Stopped it cold. Muslim’s in general behave more like Qathafi, al Assad, even Rouhani, others. There’s radical’s, and fanatics in all religions, and denominations. Christians are some rotten motherfuckers themselves. The Torah Jews, and the pretender Talmud Jews are no better, none follow the word of God. ALL worship the same God, or pretend to. Talmud Jews are Zionists, Godless people. Khazars created Zionism, and later Catholicism. (see the Borgia’s) The closer to the Church, the further from God. I’m thinking you’re a pretender Jew. Your arrogance(for no apparent reason, Holier than thou demeanor, and contempt for any that don’t share your view’s are good indicators you’re just another tired, old re-run clone Zionist Khazar troll. Or, you sold your…. whatever Godless pretenders have to sell to those that wish you dead.

However far too many of you trolls neglect to understand what the Ashkenazim look like. You are far too interested in the controversy than the affirmation. Helen4Yemen is ignorant of the fact that Israel hires foreigners (usually east Europeans from Russia and Ukraine) to pose in Israeli soldier uniforms to conceal the fact that jews are vile, hideous creatures.

Therefore, Sex slavery in tiny Island is now perfectly legal and Epstein should appeal his arrest. Also, US corporations are now encouraged to continue enslaving as many children as possible in Cocoa plantations in Ghana and Liberia, Coca plantations in Colombia and Poppy fields in Afghanistan. Nothing new really, and no one should be surprised.

Jews are pedophiles by nature and like to harvest the organs of children for Passover, they don’t view this as cannibalism because they think that only jews are human and that even the best non-jews should be killed.

Zionist Khazar pretenders are Eurasian. The names are ALL assumed names, taken from an individual that had been murdered by the Khazar that assumed the name, and identity to exploit the victims wealth, and position. Or, the name of families the bloodline had run out for the same purpose. Rothschild took this name this way. When the tribes reached Germany he took the name Bauer, so as to appear a local, not a stranger, or newcomer. This is SOP when the tribes spread out. Khazars used this earlier in their criminal conduct along the Silk Road where it passed through their country. These practices led to the slaughter of the people, the survivors stripped of their religion, and run out of their country. The King, his entourage, some others were warned, and managed to escape. The history dates a couple thousand years back, one needs the actual history to understand fully what the world is facing today.

Marco Polo

Every word you type reflects your ideological indoctrination and less than favourable education. You can’t prove me wrong, you thus resort to petty insults. I’m not an American, although you still label me one. In your view, such a word essentially boils down to an insult.

When you speak of Americans, you don’t mean other races that acquired American citizenship of course. You are only referring to the White population that you conflate with the slave owners

Rather than condemn the ruling class in particular, you make the mistake of ascribing all of their activities to the ordinary man, woman and child whose dirt poor ancestors never owned slaves of their own.

You do not understand that 2/3 of the Whites that travelled to North and South America prior to the early nineteenth century were classified as “indentured servants” who were no more than slaves, loopholes in these contracts allowed their owners to hold them as slaves past the .

Most blacks in the US and Canada are 25% White. The Irish slaves couldn’t survive the intense heat in the American south, so their owners ordered their black slaves to rape Irish slave women to produce a hybrid offspring.

In some instances there were black slave owners too. At other times, they were Amerindian. Most were White and representative of far less than 1% of the White population by comparison to the high prevalence of slave ownership among the jewish minority, comprising 40% of all slave ownership in the United States.

Slavery in Latin America however was on a much larger scale and lasted much longer, it wasn’t abolished until the nineteenth century. Brazil for instance only abolished slavery two decades following the American Civil War of 1861-1865 in which Russia was an ally.

Benjamin Disraeli was no Englishman. ?? He was BORN in London so regardless of his religious or ethnic associations he is an Englishman fully able to have a British passport .

Marco Polo

Benjamin Disraeli was ethnically jewish, he was by no means an Englishman in the same way the Rothschilds and Warburgs are racially jewish and were never German. Jews view themselves as jews living in a host nation, wherever they go they are a nation living within a nation.

They see themselves as the ‘Jewish People’, not the Jewish religion. According to their “holy” books, they are technically the only real people; while gentiles are animals.

The jews cynical create and promote it to disrupt the cultural fabric of society, this is how they eroded our culture alongside multiculturalism in order to physically destroy us inside out by destroying our morals by distorting public perception and enticing them to pick the low-hanging fruit.

If you want to destroy a civilisation, there’s no need to send a massive army to smash its borders and sack its cities. Simply offer its people perpetual convenience and entertainment, and the rest will take care of itself.

So what about the courts in the country where this slavery actually took place? So you don’t want U.S. influence around the world but then cry when they don’t?

One thing that is touched on in this article is corporate favoritism and the immunity it offers to the people behind them. Corporations are a big problem in our world for many reasons.

“The U.S. Department of Labor recently reported that the use of child labor on family farms in cocoa-growing areas of Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana increased from 31 percent to 45 percent between 2008 and 2019.”

So what are we talking about here???? Children working on family farms, child slavery or child labor???? There is a big difference and there is nothing wrong with children working on family farms nor child labor. So is it really slavery or not?

Everything we read today is propaganda of some sort but most all of it is liberal propaganda. Why didn’t these men sue the people who supposedly enslaved them in the country they were in?

Be sure to boycott nestle and all of their mass produced garbage. This swiss company represents the epitome of evil and sick minded business practice.

Research the regional communities that are fighting against their aggressive takeover of natural water resources.

They have even created an artificial CGI bot to respond to journalists questioning there business ethics and practices. This was reported years ago on RT and other non-western news outlets.

“A corporation cannot be sued for human trafficking, because it is not an ‘individual”

That is a skewed conclusion.

In the U.S. corporations ARE given “person” status and are given rights as individuals as provided under the Constitution. This is why Corporations are allowed to limit free speech of others while spewing all the degenerate speech they want. Yet they are also a cover for those individuals who run them.

Corporations should have person status removed so as to limit their influence. But then again the Constitution should be trashed in favor of a more Godly document which would limit our degeneration even better.

Tommy Jensen

We have to know the case in more detail to judge anything.

First many of these cases are ideological liberal bs not knowing the local conditions the locals have and benefitting from squeezing some political goal . Second I know at least some Western firms are giving these local children a better life than they had. They get cleaned for flees and deceases, maintained in good health, get a salary that helps their families, learn skills and to socialise by working.

Not saying that real slavery conditions could not exist in these cases, only that we have to be aware of a political exploitation could hide behind.

Jim Allen

If a corporation is not an individual, then why do corporations have the same rights as an individual in US ? The Supreme Court ruled in the not too distant past corporations do have the same rights as people. Causing the remark “I’ll believe corporations are people when the Government hangs one of them.” This ruling shows exactly the state of the Union today. If the Globalist’s get this past the sheople without pushback, we are fucked !

Peter Wallace

So according to US law you can not have a slave as an individual but you can if you are a corporation. : they could not be sued for complicity in child trafficking because they are corporations, not individuals.: Does that mean Amazon can have slaves working for them but Bezos can’ legally have one himself.

KnowTheJew

If one reads into the Jews’ writings, especially the Jews’ Protocols, and other writings, they will find that death for most and slavery for the rest of us is their plan.

The Protocols. Fake until one read them.
