| description | "It contains an overview of human rights accountability-laws of Multinational Enterprises. The is a useful book for campaigners who want to explore the possibilities for bringing a multinational to court. The book goes into several international approaches for holding TNCs accountable for their deeds when operating abroad. There is a section on the role of UNCTAD and on attempts by the UN Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities to set up a Sessional Working Group on Transnational Corporations. The last section is on domestic approaches to holding corporations legally accountable. Litigation and court cases in the US, England, the UK, and the Netherlands are all investigated. The annexes provide valuable background on the most important inititiatives in this field: the ILO declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the ILO tripartite Declaration of Principles Concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy, the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises and the Howitt resolution on EU standards for European enterprises operating in developing countries.
