Isi artikel

In a recent important book, The Ethics of International Business, Tom Donaldson argues that multinational corporations (as well as individuals and nationstates) must, at a minimum, respect international human rights. For a purposed right to besuch a fundamental right it must satisfy three conditions. Donaldson calls the third condition the "fairness-affordability" condition. The affordability part of this conditions holds that moral agents must be capable of paying for the burdens and responsibilities that a proposed human rights would impose. If this is imposible, then the purpoted right is not an international human right. I argue that Donaldson's affordability condition is subject to four objection which reveal its untenability as one of the conditions upon which identification of international human rights must rest. I offer another way of treating problems of affordability and capability when it comes to such rights that all moral agents must respect.
