| Summary/Abstract |
IN AN INCREASINGLY GLOBALIZING WORLD, where we witness an interweaving of economic, financial, and trading ties, the issue of civilized behavior by transnational corporations is beginning to take on added urgency. The corporations are growing by absorbing ever more of the world's business and economic entities and active population. Their business activities span large groups of people, often becoming city-forming activities and, therefore, their scope of responsibility should include providing quality social and health services and maintaining a proper natural environment. In other words, the corporations are called upon to be a leader in labor relations and in the observance of labor laws and, accordingly, human rights. Of the 100 largest economies in the world, 51 are corporations; only 49 are countries.1
