The Dutch Parliament recently held a hearing on the activities of Shell in Nigeria, partly in response to this 38 minute documentary by the Dutch TV programme “*Zembla”: The dirty oil from Shell.
The eyes of the world have been focused on the Gulf of Mexico, where BP took several months to stop an oil leak deep under the sea surface. In the meantime, a 50 year oil disaster is happening in Nigeria.. Since SHELL started their hunt for oil in Nigeria, an estimated 1.5 million barrels of oil have flowed into groundwater, drinking water and rivers. The population wants it to stop. The activity has generated billions in profits for the leading Dutch/British oil company, but it is accused of environmental and human rights abuse. read more
In our posting last September when the decision was announced (here), we discussed the Second Circuits decision in Kiobel, et al. v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co., et al., 06-4800-cv, 06-4876-cv (2d Cir. 17 Sept. 2010), which held that the Alien Tort Statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1350, does not subject a corporation (as opposed to natural persons) to liability. Now, in two separate filings (here and here) leading to an 5-5 split, the Second Circuit denied the request for the full Court to reahear the case en banc. (For a general discussion of the role of comity in international disputes, see our Topic discussion in our e-book, International Practice: Topics and Trends.) read more
