Bond, Patrick & Sharife, Khadija () Shell Oil: Guilty in World Court of Public Opinion. Economic & Political Weekly : 1-3.
Summary
Shell Oil has agreed to pay reparations in the case in a New York court that implicated it in the 1995 execution of the Nigerian activist Ken Saro-Wiwa. It is only by a mix of radical social pressure – “tree-shaking” – and the power of the courtrooms – “jam-making” – that challenges can be maximised to corporations which exploit the African continent.
