	Unocal Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unocal was one of the key players in the CentGas consortium, an attempt to build a pipeline to run from the Caspian area, through Afghanistan and probably Pakistan, to the Indian Ocean.
		Unocal was charged with numerous human rights violations in the construction of the Yadana Pipeline in Myanmar, also known as Burma.
		Unocal is the defendant in legal action brought in the United States under the Alien Tort Claims Act of 1789, a law originally designed to aid victims of pirates.

	Unocal Corporation
		Unocal had a 28 percent interest in an international consortium, led by TOTAL S.A. of France, which was developing a natural gas field in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Myanmar and was constructing a pipeline from this field to Rathaburi, Thailand.
		Unocal was also a defendant in a lawsuit alleging that it had turned a blind eye to the actions of the Myanmarese military during the construction of the $1.2 billion pipeline that the TOTAL-Unocal consortium was building.
		Unocal's exact role was in dispute, but a suit was filed in California in 1996 under the Alien Tort Claims Act of 1789, which allowed foreign litigants to seek damages in U.S. courts for crimes against "the law of nations"—acts of genocide, torture, kidnapping, and slavery.

	UNOCAL
		In considering Unocal's motion for summary judgment, the federal district court found that Unocal was in fact aware of the forced labor, and also benefited from its practice.
		To this, Unocal argued that any forced labor or other human rights violations that may have occurred were perpetrated by soldiers of the Burmese military, not employees of Unocal, and therefore Unocal should not bear any financial responsibility for the violations.
		Thus, ILRF argued that Unocal was jointly and severally liable for the acts of the military regime as the military security forces were acting as an agent for Unocal.

		Unocal appealed to the Ninth Circuit's en banc panel of 11 judges, and this second appeal was pending at the time the settlement was announced on 13 December 2004.
		During the California state proceedings, the judge held that although Unocal was not liable in its own right for actions of the Myanmar military, because of the corporate veil, it could be liable on the basis that its Myanmar subsidiaries acted as its agents.

		The Unocal Offshore Co. was originally owned by the Unocal International Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Union Oil Company of California.

	Chuck Williamson 1948— - BACKGROUND ON UNOCAL, WILLIAMSON'S EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
		Unocal, which was founded in 1890 as the Union Oil Company of California in Santa Paula, was in the early 2000s an independent oil and gas exploration and production company headquartered in El Segundo, California.
		Unocal's midstream operations were focused on the company's wholly owned pipeline systems as well as its equity interests in other petroleum pipeline companies.
		Unocal's operations in Southeast Asia got unwelcome high-profile coverage in December 2003 when villagers from Myanmar (formerly Burma) took the company to court, charging that Unocal was responsible for human rights abuses committed against them by Myanmar's military during a 1990s pipeline project.

	Horvitz & Levy LLP - Kinsman v. Unocal Corporation
		In Kinsman, Horvitz and Levy LLP obtained a unanimous California Supreme Court decision on behalf of Unocal Corporation, in which the Supreme Court limited the liability of landowners and others who retain contractors to perform work on the hiring party’s property.
		Unocal retained Horvitz and Levy LLP after the Supreme Court granted review to consider the circumstances in which a landowner can be liable for a dangerous condition on the landowner’s premises.
		In its 7-0 decision, the Supreme Court agreed with Unocal that the premises liability instruction given to the jury was inadequate because it did not require the jury to consider whether Burke and Reynolds knew of asbestos risks at the time Kinsman’s work was performed at the Unocal refinery in the early 1950’s.

	CRG -- Getting used to the idea of double standards: The underlying maxim is "we will punish the crimes of our enemies ...
		Although UNOCAL claims it abandoned the pipeline project in December 1998, the series of meetings held between U.S., Pakistani, and Taliban officials after 1998, indicates the project was never off the table.
		Karzai's ties with UNOCAL and the Bush administration are the main reason why the CIA pushed him for Afghan leader over rival Abdul Haq, the assassinated former mujaheddin leader from Jalalabad, and the leadership of the Northern Alliance, seen by Langley as being too close to the Russians and Iranians.
		Beginning in late 1997, Unocal was a member of a multinational consortium that was evaluating construction of a Central Asia Gas pipeline between Turkmenistan and Pakistan [via western Afghanistan].

	Talbert Fuel Systems Patents Co., v. Unocal Corporation, et al.
		Unocal responds that prosecution history estoppel, as established by the Court's Festo decision, bars Talbert's attempt to reach the Unocal fuels, and that remand is inappropriate.
		In Festo the Court applied the principles of prosecution history estoppel to claims that had been narrowed by amendment, reaffirming that estoppel "hold[s] the inventor to the representations made during the application process and to the inferences that may reasonably be drawn from the amendment." Festo, 535 U.S. at 737-38, 62 USPQ2d at 1712.
		Turning to the Court's second potential ground of rebuttal, the reason for Talbert's amendment cannot be deemed "tangential" to the Unocal alleged equivalent.

	ProfessorBainbridge.com: Unocal, Human Rights, and Alter Ego Liability (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		As the Unocal human rights trial gets set to start, a key legal issue will be whether the plaintiffs can pierce the corporate veil of Unocal's subsidiaries to hold the parent corporation liable.
		First, the corporate law doctrine known as limited liability insulates shareholders of a corporation - including a parent corporation - from personal liability for debts incurred or torts committed by the corporation.
		Because there apparently are no allegations that the parent corporation was directly involved, the limited liability rule would protect Unocal itself from liability for any acts committed by agents of its subsidiaries.
