http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/oct/15/colombian-farmers-sue-bp-british-court
Being called one of the largest cases in environmental legal history, over 100 Colombian farmers are suing BP (called Equion Energia there) due to the damage that the oil pipeline (Ocensa, laid in the 1990s) has caused them. They claim that they did not fully understand the contracts and that they were never fully compensated. Since this is the first time BP is being sued from overseas, it could open up a whole mess of trouble with other developing countries. The Colombian farmers want to show evidence that the pipeline caused “severe soil erosion and sedimentation of fields and water sources, reduced vegetation coverage and areas for pasture, and blocked water sources.” This case seems to overlap conceptions that we’ve talked about in class (environmental justice, capitalism, globalism, consumerism, fossil fuels); if successful, we might be seeing more claims like this to come. As of now, I suppose we have to wait… but what impact do you think a win or lose for these Colombians farmers might signify?
