El Hadji Guisse, Sub-Commission Expert, said...A member of the Group, Mr. Weissbrodt, had been asked to draw up a set of standards for transnational corporations. The code of practice had been discussed widely and received the support of non-governmental organizations and members of the Sub-Commission itself. It had been decided that it would be best to consider the document next year. It was clear when reading the document that the text was different from voluntary codes of practice, since the document contained compulsory and obligatory standards. In the next session, the impact of transnational corporations on the enjoyment of human rights would be considered as well as the code of practice outlined by Mr. Weissbrodt. This would include sections on pharmaceutical transnational corporations and issues of patents.
