Draft United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations
Summary
The elaboration of the United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations was one of the main tasks of the Commission on Transnational Corporations (established by the Economic and Social Council under resolution 1913 (LVII) of 5 December 1974). The preparation of the text of the Draft Code was entrusted first to an Ad Hoc Inter-Governmental Working Group. The Group submitted its report to the Commission at its eighth session in 1982 (United Nations document E/C.10/1982/6).
