Overview

The No Business With Genocide (NBWG) campaign is built around the simple proposition that corporations should refrain or withdraw from doing business with regimes that engage in genocide and/or crimes against humanity. NBWG puts pressure on corporations in key sectors – principally oil, gas, timber, mining, and banking – to stop supporting regimes complicit in genocide and crimes against humanity. Central to the campaign is the adoption of resolutions and laws by universities, religious denominations, and local and state governments. For instance, a city would place restrictions on buying goods or services from corporations that do business with governments engaged in genocide. In this way, citizens can ensure that their city taxes don’t support corporations that effectively underwrite genocidal governments.
