Yes. The issue is enforcement. Bankruptcy doesn't make debt disappear. Instead, a discharge operates as an injunction against collection efforts. If the foreign creditor tries to enforce the debt against you here in the states, that would be a violation of the discharge injunction. Of course, U.S. law wouldn't prevent the creditor from enforcing the debt against you in the foreign jurisdiction, unless there is a U.S. treaty with that jurisdiction providing otherwise.

Should MNCs follow the theory of ethical relativism when operating abroad?

While MNCs should respect local customs and laws, they should also adhere to a universal set of ethical standards that promote human rights and environmental sustainability. Ethical relativism may lead to inconsistency in corporate behavior and can be exploited to justify unethical practices. It is important for MNCs to strike a balance between respecting cultural differences and upholding ethical principles.

How does a person file for chapter 11 bankruptcy?

To file chapter 11 bankruptcy one must propose a plan and then must find creditors to agree with this plan.
