Abstract
Within the framework of a secular trend that affects commercial activities today, and judges competition in trade markets with no difference between the local, national, and global dimensions, it seeks to impose human rights principles (as it sees it) on all countries of the world, in order to preserve the right of the worker, work, the environment, and our planet Earth. In addition to preserving the fairness of activity in the field of trade, and the reality of commercial companies in terms of being luxurious. This is something that many developing countries do not see, and on many occasions they have opposed it because it was ostensibly for protection, but in reality it does not protect, but rather undermines their economic situation, and places them in legislative sovereignty afflicted with slow erosion over a long period of time, in addition to the fact that it mortgages their future and even their present under the influence of It is the mercy of the product imported from countries that had previously established their industries and technology without these principles. Hence, can these developing countries, industrially and technically, neglect these rights, or should they submit and accept a fait accompli, or is there a middle ground that they can adopt to ward off this conflict?
