The activists that participated in the action represent organizations and social movements from tens of countries of the five continents. The protest took place shortly after the start of the official negotiations of the Intergovernmental Working Group of the UN Human Rights Council that is setting the bases for a binding treaty on transnational corporations and human rights violations.

The social groups are pressuring in favor of this treaty through the Global Campaign to Dismantle Corporate Power and End Impunity.
After the official Brazilian delegate finished his intervention, the demonstrators returned to the room.
