Resumen
This paper analyzed a possible ’Ethics of freedom’ in the relations between extractive companies and Latin
American states. The research supports an original theory on the origin of global injustices that focuses on
developing countries as ethically responsible ontological units. The empirical case studies of the relations between Multinational Companies and the Latin American States are taken from a qualitative methodology that
analyzes fifteen instances of injustice judged by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights between 1980 and
2020. Does the article ask: How have ethic concepts such as bad faith, L’angoisse de la libert´e, selfawareness,
Being-in-itself, and Being-for-itself been applied in relations between Latin American companies and governments? The authors take, hypothetically, States, companies, and international organizations as ontological units
of a "global society." While other research tends to focus on the responsibilities of extractive companies, this
article concludes that distortions in the Ethics of States, such as the bad faith of governments in developing
countries, largely explain situations of injustice. Accordingly, the article concludes that it is possible to argue
new criminalities of bad faith given that Latin American Governments are morally responsible for crimes prior to
and during the establishment of extractive companies between 1982 and 2020.
