Statement of Mila Rosenthal - Director, Business and Human Rights Program - Release of Contracting Out of Human Rights: The Chad-Cameroon Pipeline Project

The Chad-Cameroon pipeline project is supported by lenders such as the World Bank, export credit agencies such as Ex-Im Bank, and private banks such as ABN AMRO. Chevron and Petronas are minority partners in the oil Consortium. Exxon led the negotiations on the legal agreements and the Chad and Cameroon governments signed them. Amnesty International today calls on all of these actors to re-examine the legal agreements and encourage a legal regime that lets Chad and Cameroon develop, improve and flourish. [also refers to BP's Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline]
