A Few Years Ago, Several U

A few years ago, several U.S. retailers were sued in Los Angeles courts for human rights abuses associated with contract manufacturers located in the Marianas Islands, a territory of the U.S. government. The accusers wanted the retailers to stop outsourcing the manufacturing of soft goods to manufacturers on the islands that practiced inhumane labor standards. The activists who brought suit against the U.S. firms:

A) claimed that the retailers were breaking the law.
B) were taking a corporate social initiative stance.
C) were quoting the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
D) wanted the courts to recognize the global ethical standards put in place by the International Convention Against Corruption.
