| | So in July of 1999, California became the first state to pass a statute that allows World War II slave and forced labor victims or their heirs to bring legal actions against those who profited from the use of slave and forced labor. | | | Like HermanMathis, the California Legislature also believes that companies doing business in California today must account for their unlawful behavior during World War II, and not be allowed to continue profiting by it. | | | In his ruling, Judge McDonald wrote: "It is the courts, not the executive branch, that will ultimately determine the meaning or applicability of a treaty." |

| | If the NBA does have a code of conduct that guarantees humane working conditions, how is it possible that NBA sweatshirts were sewn under slave labor conditions in Burma, for starvation wages, by workers who have no rights whatsoever? | | | The workers have no rights, and even questioning factory conditions can result in imprisonment. | | | If implemented, this would result in a win-win situation for the NBA, the American people and for the thousands of workers across the developing world who make NBA products. |
