Open Letter to the UN Security Council on Ending Corporate Immunity in Iraq

On June 4th, 2004, three organizations – EarthRights International, the Government Accountability Project, and the Sustainable Energy and Economy Network – urged the United Nations Security Council to reject language in the draft US/UK resolution on Iraq that would immunize U.S. corporations from the legal consequences of their actions in the Iraqi oil sector.

The Security Council is expected to vote on the Iraq Resolution as early as Monday, June 7th. Please contact your representatives regarding this issue ASAP. If this language survives, companies like Halliburton may be immune from any legal consequences from their actions in Iraq for the indefinite future. View file
