  • Complaint Filed Against Different Companies of The
    April 29, 2003 VIA FACSIMILE and U.S. MAIL Mr. Wesley Scholz Director, Office of Investment Affairs and National Contact Point for the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 Dear Mr. Scholz: Friends of the Earth-United States is raising a specific instance against Unocal Corporation, ConocoPhillips, and Amerada Hess Corporation (the “U.S. Companies”) for breaching the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (the “Guidelines”) with respect to the Baku-T’bilisi- Ceyhan oil pipeline1 (the “BTC”). The specific areas of concern we raise here relate to the BTC Consortium, of which the U.S. Companies are a part. It is held that the Consortium: y exerted undue influence on the regulatory framework; y sought or accepted exemptions related to social, labor, tax and environmental laws; y failed to operate in a manner contributing to the wider goals of sustainable development; y failed to adequately consult with project-affected communities on pertinent matters; and y undermined the host governments’ ability to mitigate serious threats to the environment, human health and safety. Applicability of the Guidelines to the U.S. Companies As a signatory to the Guidelines, the U.S. government has committed itself to encouraging multinational companies operating on its territory to observe the Guidelines wherever they operate. The U.S. companies’ operations in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey are therefore subject to the Guidelines by virtue of the fact that each enterprise is incorporated and headquartered in the United States and has its primary securities’ listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

They are often at the root of women’s different exposure to natural hazards and environmental degradation, or result in lost economic and education opportunities and reduced well-being. A gender perspective is often missing in environment-related sectors and policies, despite women’s and men’s different relationship with the environment and environmental risks in most of countries and cultures. This OECD 2020 Global Forum on Environment will discuss needed transformations to achieve both environmental and gender equality goals. 10:00 – 11:00 Session 1 – High level Scoping Panel CC15 Moderated by Mr. Masamichi Kono, Deputy Secretary General, OECD Video messages from • Mr.

Abdul Hamid, Hon’ble President of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh; Mr. Justice Md. Abdul Wahhab Miah, Chairman, Preparatory Committee for the Conference and Senior most Judge of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh Esteemed Chief Justices of Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and United Kingdom; Hon’ble Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Mr. Anisul Huq; Beloved Justices; Mr. Christopher Stephens, Vice-President for Administration and Corporate Management, ADB; Distinguished Guests, Delegates and Participants from home and abroad; Representatives of the Print and Electronic Media; Ladies and Gentlemen. Assalamualaikum/Very Good Morning. Environmental protection is described as a possible means of fulfilling human rights standards. Environmental law is conceptualized as giving a protection that would help ensure the well-being of future generations as well as survival of those who depend immediately upon natural resources for their livelihood. Since the Stockholm Conference in 1972, international environmental law has developed to such extent that even the domestic environment of states has been internationalized. In view of the breadth of environmental law and policy, and the manner in which it intrudes into every aspect of environmental protection in an international sense and notwithstanding the concept of state sovereignty, it is argued that to demand a decent environment as a separate human right is redundant.
