Does US law have anything to say about private companies supporting human rights abuse in other countries through their policies?
- capableweb 3y agoIf it did, almost none of the top companies in the US would exists anymore. Of course it doesn't.
- dathinab 3y agothe US often doesn't even have to say anything about human right abuse _in_ the US
- bhouston 3y agoI think it doesn't because it wants to control what is polices, rather than relying on third parties like human rights groups to decide that.
- droptablemain 3y agoThe U.S. doesn't care about "human rights" if the supposed perpetrator supports U.S. hegemony.
- user982 3y agoYes, US law in 35 states does have something to say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws#Anti-BDS_laws_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws#Anti-BDS_laws_in... Namely, if you do not support the human rights abuses of one particular country, action will be taken against you.
