United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection
The United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection is a declaration of best practices in consumer protection law and policy. The Guidelines are not binding, but do provide a set of basic consumer protection objectives upon which governments have agreed, thereby serving as a policy framework for implementation at a national level. Whilst directed primarily at governments, some provisions of the Guidelines are also directed at businesses.〔For example, article 39, "Business should, where appropriate, undertake or participate in factual and relevant consumer education and information programmes."〕
== History ==
The earliest known statement of consumer rights at a political level was given on 15 March 1962, when President John F Kennedy of the United States delivered a speech to Congress in which he outlined four consumer rights: the right to safety, the right to be informed, the right to choose and the right to be heard.
In 1981, the United Nations Economic and Social Council "requested the Secretary-General to continue consultations on consumer protection with a view to elaborating a set of general guidelines for consumer protection, taking particularly into account the needs of the developing countries".〔http://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/39/a39r248.htm〕
In 1983, draft guidelines for consumer protection were submitted to ECOSOC in response to its request. Following extensive discussions and negotiations, the Guidelines were adopted by consensus resolution of the United Nations General Assembly on 9 April 1985. They have since been amended by the addition of a new section on sustainable consumption on 26 July 1999.〔
