• Should Global Rules Have Legal Teeth? Policing (Who Framework Convention On Tobacco Control) Vs. Good Citizenship (Un Global Compact)

This study examines two multilateral initiatives, the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and the United Nations Secretary-General's Global Compact. These are two efforts to engage transnational corporations in the development process and in the articulation of a set of multilateral rules of engagement regarding good corporate behavior. The FCTC is more stringent and proscriptive, seeking to regulate corporate behavior. The second is an invitation to transnational corporations (TNCs) to cooperate voluntarily. The relative success of the two approaches is contingent on meeting seven parameters of legitimacy, and ultimately on the legal standing of the mechanism.
