Submission in Support of Petitioners Case No. CHR-NI-2016-0001 subsidiaries and affiliates; and, as far as reasonably practicable, the corporation’s supply chain.”146 To conclude: most human rights agencies and other stakeholders agree that businesses are human rights duty bearers, and that states have an obligation to provide judicial and other redress mechanisms for persons whose human rights are violated or infringed upon as a result of business activities. It is therefore reasonable for the Commission to conclude that it may exercise jurisdiction over the Carbon Majors listed in the Petitioner’s brief. Conclusion Human rights law requires states to ensure that non-state actors within their jurisdiction do not violate human rights and to provide an adequate remedy for the derogation of human rights by such actors. The Carbon Majors identified in the Petitioners’ brief are responsible for a considerable share of the emissions that contribute to global climate change – approximately 20% – and as such, they are responsible for a considerable share of the damage that has already occurred and will continue to occur as a result of climate change. As detailed in this submission, climate change will have a profoundly negative impact on the full enjoyment of fundamental human rights in the Philippines and other countries. The Commission should therefore grant the remedy sought by petitioners: hold the Carbon Majors accountable for their contribution to these impacts and request that other national governments do the same. 146 Id. at 16.
