Hi Dawn Star,

You are soon going to be saying that the FT should be required reading 
for every human rights activist! Only joking.

For your information, both the personal view articles, by Geoffrey 
Chandler and Dominique Moisi, were published in the UK edition on the 
page following (and on the back of) the page of UK radio and television 
listings. Hence it seems very likely that the articles would be published 
in a different place in foreign editions (or even omitted). Yes, the FT 
has different editions; the UK edition will have more UK news and 
business news, the European edition will have more European news and 
business news, and similarly for the US and Asian editions. Does anyone 
know if the FT is available in China and, if so, were the 2 articles 
about political repression in China in the issue of 10 December published 
there?

I received two booklets in the post today. The first entitled 'Human 
Rights Guidelines for Companies' is published by the Amnesty 
International UK Business Group (and whose contents are summarised by the 
title!). Copies may be obtained free of charge from Peter Frankental at 
AIUK on 44-(0)171-417-6382 or e-mail: business@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or 
pfranken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Alternatively, so they say, the full version can 
be found on the website at www.amnesty.org.uk

The second booklet is 'Visions of Ethical Business: an annual publication 
that brings together thinkers from around the world to bare their minds 
on the role of business in local and global society in the next 
millenium. These short thought pieces are visionary, radical and above 
all clear that there is  new role for business in our global economy'. I 
wonder who wrote that nonsense! It appears to be a collection of 14 short 
essays on business ethics and the role of business as a force for good in 
society. The names of the only two authors I recognize are Mary Robinson 
and Geoffrey Chandler (surprise, surprise). Free copies can be obtained 
from Claudia Orrell at Financial Times Management on 44-(0)171-447-2213.
