Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor

'Corporate responsibility and human rights' was the topic in your February 2002 issue. I knew you people had a well-developed sense of humour and fun. Here was proof positive.

I tried not to smile at the conjunction of the words 'corporate' and 'responsibility', and diligently tried to read all the articles. I got lost in the references to TNCs, MNCs, and (you are pulling our legs, aren't you?), TOES. Yes, TOES . According to your esteemed author Mr Birch, TOES stands for 'The Other Economic Summit' (p.4). Ho ho.

Professor Redmond came to the res­ cue in his article. He steadfastly avoided the temptation to initialise the 'Global Sullivan Principles of Social Responsibility'. I was more than heartened to read: 'The Global Sullivan Principles have been endorsed by several TNCs, NGOs and other non-profit organisations, mostly in the US'(p.25).

The Global Sullivan Principles! Thank you Professor Redmond and the Alt.LJ for tickling my toes. Satire is not dead.
