Judgment of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy
Attached is the PDF copy of the Judgment of the Bhopal gas tragedy: US court rejects the case against Union Carbide dated July 01, 2014. Never expected this from the US government... It's BullS***...
Comments extracted from the newspaper: Louise Christian, an award-winning British human rights lawyer, has commented on the US court's verdict: "This decision to deny justice to poor and vulnerable people caused irreparable harm by big business should shame the world. The US appeals court has ignored compelling evidence about the central role played by the Union Carbide Corporation based in the US in equipping, overseeing, and enabling the Indian offshoot of the company to produce UCC's own product... UCC failed to give advice that would have ensured not only that the gas leak itself did not happen but also prevent the contamination that has poisoned the drinking water in a large area around where the plant was."
She further added, "Those who run multinational corporations should not be allowed to escape liability for grievous harm by creating complex corporate structures and hiding behind these. The paltry compensation paid in India to the victims and the failure to prosecute anyone over Bhopal is a disgrace. The history should be reviewed by the United Nations with a view to introducing international law mechanisms for securing justice in this and other cases."
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
