I was always wondering why did an incident like Enron, Shell's activities in Indonesia, Adidas in Vietnam.. ever take place???

there could be more and more of such companies in the future...I give you a breif idea of what can be done and what can be changed to make this world a better place to live in ..

Modern human rights doctrine emerged historically from the struggle of the individual property holder against the autocratic monarchic state. It is, in essence, a market-based theory of rights. Thus the first human right to emerge clearly is the right to private property. This is turn gives rise, by the nineteenth century, to a conception of human rights that distinguishes different classes of actors as to the extent of their rights.

Upendra Baxi, in fact, has pointed out, “The Rights of Man” were human rights of all men capable of autonomous reason and will. This conception of human rights has also led to the extension of its protection to private accumulations of capital. Thus Article I of the First Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) makes clear that both natural and legal persons have the right to the peaceful enjoyment of their possessions. Equally, cases have been heard by the European Court of Human Rights involving alleged violations of human rights against corporations. The traditional conception of human rights accepts only this protective approach to the relationship between corporations and human rights. Therefore there is a conceptual barrier to the extension of human rights obligations to private corporations.
