Right now, a lot of corporations have voluntary codes of conduct. The point I was making was that in the studies we've done in relation to voluntary codes of conduct, those regimes--the codes and the social reporting that's done--are voluntary codes with vague provisions that are voluntarily adopted. They're voluntarily self-assessed and they're then voluntarily verified. So it's really the fox guarding the henhouse. And they have not proved effective in ensuring that corporations are not complicit in human rights violations when they're operating in areas of conflict.
