Abstract
This note examines the issues raised by the presence of MNEs in lesser-developed countries, such as the delicate relationship with host governments, the effects of industrialization on lesser developed countries and the regulation of MNEs. The note then discusses the various issues that will arise in multinational litigation. The various issues are then analyzed in light of the Bhopal disaster, discussing whether the United States is an appropriate forum in which to determine liability, whether American or Indian law should be applied and whether a judgment rendered will be enforceable in the United States and in India. Based on the resolutions of these issues, this note suggests stricter regulation of MNEs by the host countries and by the United States.
