Human Rights and International Law

HSKRR is one of the few private law firms in the United States with a substantial international human rights practice. We co-counseled the precedent setting case of Doe v. Unocal in which 11 Burmese villagers brought suit against Unocal Corp. for its complicity in building a pipeline in conjunction with the government of Burma using forced labor. We are currently co-counsel in Bowoto v. Chevron Corp., alleging that Nigerian military, with Chevron's assistance, direction and payment, attacked and killed villagers who were protesting Chevron's environmental and economic practices in their communities. That matter was argued on Appeal before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in June, 2010.
