Abstract: 

This
article argues that our prevailing notion of obligations is inadequate for
regulating large - scale problems. Collective actors, especially corporations,
should be recognized as having obligations in human rights issues as they are
much better prepared to deal with complex problems than individuals. Secondly,
it is argued that a scribing such obligations is not loftily idealistic, but
has its roots in current political phenomena. Contemporary international law
and non - legal arrangements create an institutional frame work that pressures
collectives to justify their actions. Nevertheless, some of these new modes of
governance lack legitimacy because they neglect 
the participation of the individual.
