Agenda Estado de Derecho, a legal blog worth following, asked for my take on the recent Chiquita Brands International civil case verdict. I've written the analysis in Spanish and here is an AI translation summary: A Florida jury has delivered a historic $38.3 million verdict against Chiquita, marking a milestone in international justice. The case, involving survivors of paramilitary violence in Colombia's banana-growing regions, confirms that Chiquita illegally financed the AUC (a designated terrorist group) with over $1.7 million from 1997 to 2004. Key points: - This is the first conviction in U.S. courts holding a company accountable for financing human rights violations in Colombia. - It addresses corporate responsibility in the Colombian conflict where local justice has fallen short. - The verdict overcame significant legal hurdles, including limitations on the Alien Tort Statute and Torture Victim Protection Act. - It sets a precedent for corporate accountability in conflict zones and demonstrates the insufficiency of voluntary corporate responsibility initiatives. The case's implications are far-reaching: - For Colombia: It begins to settle a historical debt of justice, linking back to the infamous banana massacre. - For corporate justice: It renews hope for holding multinationals accountable for human rights abuses globally. - For legal strategy: It offers a roadmap for navigating complex international corporate accountability cases in U.S. courts. Looking ahead: - This "bellwether" trial involved only 9 families, but over 7,500 victims have filed similar lawsuits. - An appeal process could last up to two years, potentially affecting thousands of pending cases. - Colombian authorities must now accelerate their investigations and ensure the safety of victims and witnesses.

The largest market share in its history for MSC in one of the most important moments of crisis in maritime transport. 🤔 Something doesn't make much sense. 🧐 It is not expected until the first quarter of next year that the maritime crisis we have today will begin to improve. So everyone has to be foresight and prepare the loads well in advance to be able to face the blank sailings, roll-overs and others in ports like Singapore and Colombo. #Logistics #Supplychain #Marinetraffic

Asturias is exploring new business opportunities for Asturian companies in the Irish and Icelandic markets. It is very important to be able to recover the direct air connection with Dublin and reinforce the indirect connection with Keflavik, with the aim of reducing the cost and travel time for companies, as well as taking advantage of and encouraging tourism in both directions, discovering a part of Spain that is probably unknown to many.
