      Aid agencies promote 'girls' empowerment'. But their MNCs (like @unilver) produce 'skin-lightening creams'? #InternationalPolicyCoherence?

      try this thought experiment - P&O ferries, LDN Gateway, Southhampton Port etc owned by DP World.. Should UAE regulate the biz?

      If P&O were doing something harmful, moreover something that counters UAE's foreign policy objectives, then yes - surely?

          The Dutch gov voted to ban arms sales to Saudi Arabia. Why can't we do the same with lightening products?

          I'm not talking about what other, conservative governments might want to do. I'm asking what we can do.

          that is a broader question...regulating overseas conduct of MNCs is not easy or obvious A., although it happens (eg FCPA)
