<br/><br/> "Unocal, the US $11 billion oil company headquartered in El Segundo, California is being held liable by a group of Burmese villagers for human rights abuses committed by a business partner in Burma in a case before the California Superior Court. The case, John Doe et al versus Unocal, has caused disquiet within the US business community." (IRRAWADDY) The author details the Unocal case and contends that "no other human rights case against a corporation has gotten as far in the judicial process as Doe vs Unocal. Human rights lawyers hope they have found a way to legally enforce human rights conventions on multi-national corporations. Not surprisingly, it has prompted overwhelming opposition from the US business lobby, fearful of the legal precedent that might be set by a verdict for the plaintiffs."
