Description
I. INTRODUCTION In many impoverished and remote areas of the world, multinational corporations enter into joint ventures and other commercial arrangements with governments that have poor human rights records. Then, protected by their government partners, the corporations engage in business practices far below the standards expected in the West. Both the multinationals and their host government partners focus solely on maximizing the profits of their joint venture with little concern for the operational effects borne by the local population or environment. The activities of the corporations in the developing world frequently contradict the codes of conduct that they publicly espouse. Host governments lack incentives to enforce any existing regulatory systems that might reduce profits. The host communities lack the power and opportunity to oppose these practices. All too frequently the partner governments are ready to use unrestrained force to suppress criticism and protect the corporate operations in which they have an interest.
