Delegate: Sudan Forum: Human Rights 1 **__Issue 2: __** **__Responsibilities of trans-national corporations with regard to Human Rights

__** The violation of human rights by transnational corporations is a very important issue because transnational corporations are the basis of economies worldwide. Some transnational corporations take advantage of underpaid workers in developing nations, and pay them much less than they are meant to be paid, provide them with no health benefits, and provide no physical safety in the workplace. Some transnational corporations even use child labor. The delegate of Sudan is against the liberty given to the transnational corporations and how they hold so much power that they cannot be stood up to. Sudan firmly believes that ground rules have to be established between the government and the transnational corporation that must be followed, or else the country has full authority to kick these corporations out of the country and the transnational corporation be held responsible by the UN. Sudan also believes that UN should work together to establish some universal ground rules that are meant to be followed by all transnational corporations worldwide. These global ground rules should also include the punishment or repercussions that the corporations will face if they violate any human rights or if they break ground rules established by the country they are in, or if they break any of the global ground rules established for transnational corporations.
