What is it about?
This article analyses the exploitation of natural resources ,whether renewable as in case of forests,fisheries and agricultural products or non-renewable as in the case of minerals or petroleum ,by Transnational Corporations ( TNCs) in developing countries;explores the areas of conflict ;and examines the efficacy of the mechanisms for the control of TNCs whether legally binding or not.It is suggested that the only effective way of making TNCs accountable for their human rights violations and aiding and abetting crimes against humanity is the establishment of an international court with jurisdiction over corporations.
