<< GENEVA, Aug 3 (IPS) - The United Nations (UN) installed a new
working group Tuesday to evaluate the effects of transnational
business activity on human rights.
El-Hadji Guisse, the working group's president, said
transnational corporations have a presence in the vital sectors of
the world economy and ''are thus in a position to block any moves
towards the respect for and protection of human rights.''
In a preparatory study for the working group, Guisse, a
magistrate from Senegal, recommended that nations create laws
which ''criminalise activities by transnational corporations that
violate economic, social and cultural rights.''
The biggest problem is getting transnationals to submit to
national or international law, stated Guisse. >>
I guess I won't be so concerned about the UN's authority after all. It seems
they may be the only ally the average citizen of any country has when it
comes to confronting the corporate elite. Prudy
