Dirty Business: Accountability For Harmful Pesticide Use In Brazil, Anna Goldstein
Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review
The note argues that the alarming rise in pesticide use in Brazil, particularly under President Jair Bolsonaro, has severe human health and environmental consequences. It emphasizes the need for a binding international legal framework to hold multinational corporations accountable for human rights abuses and environmental harm in their supply chains. Current voluntary frameworks and domestic laws, such as Brazil's Law 7802, are insufficient due to weak enforcement and lack of binding standards. The proposed UN Draft Treaty on Business and Human Rights is presented as a critical solution to address these gaps and ensure corporate accountability.

(Almost) No Bad Drugs: Near-Total Products Liability Immunity For Pharmaceuticals Explained, Anita Bernstein
Washington and Lee Law Review
This Article explores four beliefs about supposed pharma-benevolence that appear to be shared by more than the industry, reaching the level almost of conventional wisdom. These figurative pillars help support one-sided results in court. However, each of the pillars on examination turns out at least a bit shaky. This Article puts them forward for review to start a necessary discussion.
The locus of this Article is products liability, where a court concludes that a manufactured object is defective or could be called defective by a factfinder following a trial. Drug manufacturers enjoy near-immunity from this consequence. Modern products liability identifies …
