| Sumario: | The article aims to analyze the double influence of the global on local in the face of the closed and ambiguous relations between the economy and the law, as well as to demonstrate the double projection of the place in the global, either from the perspective of the responsibility of the transnational companies involved in the case Mariana, and for the mapping of human rights violations of Vale SA in the world. The method of approach used is the dialectic and the procedure is the bibliographic and documentary, with emphasis on reports and documents from research groups and civil society organizations. Among the conclusions, it was verified that the political-economic interests contributed to the State's bad performance before and after the tragedy - from the elaboration of the New Mining Code to the agreement extrajudicially signed between the companies and the government for the indemnification and support of the victims. However, the Brazilian tragedy only reflects the height of Vale's social irresponsibility in relation to other focos of resistance in the world, notably Chile, Mozambique and Canada. Finally, private mechanisms for the protection of human rights - such as codes of conduct are fragile -, the national mechanisms insufficient, and the need for transnational corporations to be subject of international public law, urgent. |
