For victims of corporate harm, accessing justice in the global landscape is fraught with challenges and limitations – but also contestation and conflict. This paper focuses on these issues by directing attention to the National Contact Points (NCPs), a nonjudicial grievance mechanism in this landscape. It explores the puzzle of why complainants, who portray the NCP as a mechanism that is unlikely to provide accountability and redress in specific instances, still file complaints. Drawing on interviews with organizations that have turned to the Swedish NCP, as well as a range of documentary sources, the paper maps out the organizations’ reasons for doing so. These include, among others, an ambition to increase visibility of corporate harm and to showcase flaws in the global governance landscape. The paper argues that organizations turn to the NCP to address injustice related to economic, cultural, and political dimensions, but also to challenge existing structures for justice and attempt to transform these structures from below.
