The Guidelines are a part of the Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises. The Declaration constitutes a political commitment, adopted by the Governments of OECD Member countries in 1976 with the objective of facilitating direct investment among OECD Members. The other parts of the Declaration deal with three related instruments, aimed at:

providing national treatment to foreign-owned enterprises;
promoting co-operation among governments in relation to international investment incentives and disincentives;
minimising the imposition of conflicting requirements on MNEs by governments of different countries.
The Guidelines are voluntary and, consequently, not legally enforceable. This, however, does not imply less commitment by OECD Governments to encourage their observance. The system under which the Guidelines are implemented is described below.

The basic approach of the Guidelines is that internationally agreed guidelines can help to prevent misunderstandings and build an atmosphere of confidence and predictability between business, labour and governments.

The Guidelines address the MNEs from OECD countries. However, reflecting the worldwide operations of MNEs, Member countries support international co-operation in this area to extend to all States, and in particular with developing countries with a view to improving the welfare and living standards of all people by encouraging the positive contributions of MNEs and minimising and resolving the problems which may arise in connection with their activities.
