Forum Post: UN Principles That Support our Cause

Here are the UN Human Rights, Labor, Environment and Anti-Corruption Principles worth immediate adopting or at least worth considering that validate what 99% of us are straggling for.

The set of principles is called UN Global Compact. See it at http://unglobalcompact.org

The Ten Principles are the set of core values in the area of human rights, labor standards, the environment and anti-corruptionand they enjoy universal consensus. They are derived from The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, The International Labor Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development and The United Nations Convention Against Corruption.

THE TEN PRINCIPLES: Human Rights Principle 1: Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights; and Principle 2: make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses. Labor Principle 3: Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining; Principle 4: the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labor; Principle 5: the effective abolition of child labor; and Principle 6: the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. Environment Principle 7: Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges; Principle 8: undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility; and Principle 9: encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies. Anti-Corruption Principle 10: Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.

I hope that this set of Principles will be known, soon, to all of us in the US and all other countries of our Planet. Please, make it happen.
