Dear friends

The black gold - oil and indigenious peoples

The Danish development organisation IBIS launches a new homepage on oil. Here you can read more about the lawsuit agains Texaco, explore how the indigenous people in Amazonas tackle the challenges of negotiating with the multinational oil c mpanies; the new ethical approaches taken up by the oil companies; and a new European "code of conduct" that will improv the existing legislation and make it easier to pursue multinational companies that neglect their duty of care.

We hope that you will find our website useful.

All the best
