Equality of opportunity and treatment

     21. All  governments  should  pursue policies designed to promote

eliminating any discrimination based on race,  colour,  sex, religion,
political opinion, national extraction or social origin <5>.

     <5> Convention (No.  111) and Recommendation (No. 111) concerning
Discrimination  in  Respect  of Employment and Occupation;  Convention
(No.  100) and Recommendation (No.  90) concerning Equal  Remuneration
for Men and Women Workers for Work of Equal Value.

     22. Multinational  enterprises  should  be guided by this general
principle  throughout  their  operations  without  prejudice  to   the
measures  envisaged in paragraph 18 or to government policies designed
to correct historical patterns of discrimination and thereby to extend
equality  of  opportunity  and treatment in employment.  Multinational
enterprises  should  accordingly  make   qualifications,   skill   and
experience  the  basis  for the recruitment,  placement,  training and
advancement of their staff at all levels.
     23. Governments  should  never require or encourage multinational
enterprises to  discriminate  on  any  of  the  grounds  mentioned  in
paragraph   21,   and  continuing  guidance  from  governments,  where
appropriate,  on the avoidance of such discrimination in employment is
encouraged.
