Oktatás célja

For many years, large oil companies drilled for oil in the Amazon Basin. That resulted in major oil spills, widespread pollution, and death and disease for hundreds of Indians who lived in the region. It led to more than 20 years of liitgation against Chevon, with courts and arbitration panels in many coutries involved. This course examines the nature of the environmental distaster and the litigation that resulted.
