<DIV dir=ltr class=gmail_attr>Очень важная и долгожданная победа: 13 лет
нигерийские фермеры вместе с Друзьями Земли Нигерии и ДЗ Нидерландов судились с
Shell ... и сегодня добились признания компании виновной в загрязнении и
обязанной выплатить компенсации!<BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>ещё важно то, что ответственной признана и головная компания, не только
нигерийская. Это важный шаг в привлечении к ответственности ТНК!</DIV>

Hague, 29 January 2021 - The Court of Appeal in The Hague has ruled in favour of
Milieudefensie/Friends of the Earth Netherlands and four Nigerians on most
points in an oil pollution case that was first brought against Shell in 2008.
[1] Shell Nigeria in particular is liable for oil pollution at three locations
in the Niger Delta, but according to the court, the parent company Royal Dutch
Shell also violated its duty of care. Three of the four Nigerian plaintiffs and
their fellow villagers must now be compensated for the damage caused and Shell
must ensure that there is a leakage detection system in the pipelines in
Nigeria. It is the first time that a court has held Dutch transnational
corporation accountable for its duty of care abroad. </SPAN></P><BR>

decades, millions of people living in the Niger Delta have been suffering the
consequences of large-scale oil pollution. Every year, 16,000 babies die as a
result of the pollution, and life expectancy in the Delta is 10 years less than
in the rest of Nigeria. Friends of the Earth Netherlands’ lawsuit revolves
around pollution from leaks of Shell oil in three villages, which has rendered
local people’s fields and fish ponds unusable. The leaked oil was never
thoroughly cleaned up and new oil is still leaking out regularly.</SPAN></P><BR>

there is some justice for the Nigerian people suffering the consequences of

not functioning after 10 years of promises and preparations. Sabotage sometimes
appears to be caused by Shell employees, according to a report by Friends of the
