Description:
"On 28 October [2002], on behalf of the Global Unions Group, the ICFTU is releasing a new database of over 325 foreign companies with business links to Burma - links that help to sustain the brutal and repressive dictatorship in that country. While some prominent companies have withdrawn since the initial release of the database one year ago, Global Unions have added a further 92 companies which continue to do business with Burma or have been pursuing business links with the junta...." "The following database has been compiled by the
ICFTU, based on publicly available information.
It is a database of companies which appear, from the
information available, to have some form of
relationship with Burma.
A company was added to the list as soon as one link
was found between it and Burma or its regime during
the period following 15 November 2000, the date of
the ILO decision. In some cases, this link will be trade
with, investment in or other business activities in
Burma, for others it may be direct contact between the
company and officials of the regime. It may also be
that the company promotes or advertises tourism in
the country...
This list is not exhaustive. We are ready to correct any
factual errors which it may contain. As we receive
information on further companies which are active in
Burma we will approach them in the same way and,
depending on their reaction, add them to the list."
