Gandhi’S Prophecy: Corporate Violence And A Mindful Law For Bhopal, Nehal A. Patel

Nehal A. Patel

AbstractOver thirty years have passed since the Bhopal chemical disaster began,and in that time scholars of corporate social responsibility (CSR) havediscussed and debated several frameworks for improving corporate responseto social and environmental problems.

The Constitution was written to protect and empower all citizens of the United States, including those who are born with Disorders of Sex Development.

Ultimately the intersex babies are mutilated and robbed of many of their fundamental rights; most notably, the right …
