The long path to justice for the 32 plaintiffs in the groundbreaking Lundin Oil trial continues to unfold – both in the courtroom and through non-judicial processes.
This seminar will address three interlinked questions raised by the trial and the victims’ pursuit of justice: the landmark OECD National Contact Point ruling in Norway against Aker for failing to uphold human rights standards in its merger with Lundin Energy; the role of journalists whose reporting from conflict zones may one day serve as evidence in war crimes trials; and the experiences of plaintiffs who have testified in foreign courts in their search for justice and redress.
Together, these panels explore how international standards, journalism, and culture intersect with the law in the fight for accountability — and what it takes to make justice real.
