  • 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.
