Although the title of this article is misleading since Chevron fit NOT win the legal battle in Ecuador, it provides a good perspective on the unethical tactics used by the oil giant. Chevron’s bid to embolden transnational corporations to use their deep pockets to thwart justice underestimates the tenacity and resourcefulness of their opposition. Donziger and the Ecuadoreans have suffered a series of devastating setbacks in this mismatched battle. But Chevron faces protests, and on Jan. 23, 41 nongovernmental organizations from around the world issued a statement denouncing the company’s aggressive conduct, arguing that it creates “a dangerous precedent and represent[s] a growing and serious threat to the ability of civil society to hold corporations accountable for their misdeeds around the world.”
