Introduction

GENERAL INTRODUCTION   

Choice and relevance of the topic

Multinational companies are leading players in the new world order of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The last twenty years, companies multinationals have gained economic power, financial and unprecedented policy. The globalization of markets and capital they are the primary beneficiaries enabled them to increase the concentration of capital and the productive apparatus at their disposal and realize the creation of a situation ofoligopoly.

The privatizations encouraged by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization to accelerate the rise of transnational corporations (TNCs). Their activities cover all sectors. They can choose their place of production, procurement, operations and sales. 

Large multinational units, groups of firms organized in networks dominated by a parent company are increasing in the twentieth and twenty-first century. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), 70,000 parent companies exist today and their sales beyond the country's budget like Chile, Nigeria and Pakistan. The management of finance ministry in France, indicates that the first 100 multinational units represent 15% of jobs worldwide, 12% of foreign assets, 12% of sales.

Multinationals are measures to influence the economies of small states (especially when their turnover exceeds the GNP of the States in question. Their transnational character, their economic and legal versatility, their enormous economic and financial resources are not only a advantage but also a problem, because these so-called characteristics are more important barriers on attempts to exert legal and social control over multinational companies. multinational companies are not responsible for violations of labor law and the protection the environment in the country or they are moving their products. Rather, through bilateral or multilateraltreaties.

They not only fail to emerge from all civil damage they produce. But they also get guaranteed by the State reception against possible loss of profits due to favorable reforms to labor laws and / or environmental. This well is in fact an obstacle to progressive reforms in matters of human rights.

The interest of the subject is manifested in many ways since many people are wondering about the fate of multinational companies As to their responsibilities and procedures in the criminal courts.

On one hand, the interest of our work is to show how is the repression of multinational corporations nationally and internationally.

On the other hand, repression is the last resort to indicate criminal behavior when other means have failed.

To emphasize the protection of human rights, establish the liability of multinational companies and thereby create a repressive legal system, we have our work entitled "Repression of Economic Crimes: Case of multinational corporations.  

Scope of the topic

The substantial or substantive scope of our work is to analyze some crimes committed by multinational companies, as they are created, during their existence and in case of difficulty.

We will try to make a critical analysis on the repression of economic crimes in which to operate international criminal law business, economic and financial law, criminal business law and the positive rights of States.

The paradox of our time is a contradictory movement of extension and reduction of Justice.

Indeed, at the moment when the international community is organized to fight against the traditional forms of impunity, new forms of impunity emerge. On one hand, the entry into force of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has devoted an important victory against impunity for torturers; on the other, the international social and economic justice continues to build. As such, it should be noted that during the negotiations for the International Criminal Court, the States did not wish that legal persons fall under the jurisdiction of the ICC. The question of criminal liability of legal persons, first of which companies will be one of the major challenges of the coming years, at a time when the impact of their activities on human rights is now widely recognized.

The policies and practices of multinational corporations pose problems. Their fundamental objective of maximum benefit in the shortest time led to massive violations of human rights and the subordination of politics to the economy both nationally and globally. It is not acceptable that the legal uncertainty and the impunity of multinational perpetuated.

Our work goes, -the repeat, in all combined efforts to give our contribution about the existence of the repressive system of legal entities of private law and specifically multinationals. Indeed, in a system or let go in recent unfortunate and cause serious consequences on the socio-economic development both nationally and internationally. That's what we have to answer
