- Description
- Multinational Corporations establish operations in states with lower legal and ethical standards in areas including the environment, wages, labour standards, human rights, corruption, and company taxation. Corporate law scholars cannot be indifferent to the horrific consequences of these lax standards. From contributing to rapes and violent incidents from trade in conflict minerals in the Congo to the killing of workers due to poor conditions in garment manufacturing units in Bangladesh. We advance a normative argument for clarifying and strengthening the existing model of disclosure-based regulation to hold MNCs accountable.
