About [Edit]
The International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal [ICJB] is a coalition of people`s organizations, non-profit groups and individuals who have joined forces to campaign for justice for the survivors of the Union Carbide Disaster in Bhopal. Three organisations of survivors from Bhopal play a leading role in the international network. Members of ICJB continue to pressure Union Carbide`s current owner The Dow Chemical Company and the US and Indian governments to ensure adequate health care, safe environment and proper rehabilitation for the survivors of the disaster and their children. Exemplary punishment of the Corporation and its guilty officials is one of the key demands of ICJB.
The ICJB believes in:
1. The Precautionary Principle
2. The `Polluter Pays Principle` - the idea that those responsible for
polluting the environment and endangering our health should also be held responsible for cleaning up that pollution and preserving our health.
3. The `Right to Know` - people should have easy access to information about potential or current threats to the quality of the environment and their lives.
4. International Liability - CEOs and Corporations should not be allowed to abscond from legal proceedings levied against them in other nations.
5. Environmental Justice - poor, indigenous and people of colour communities should not be targeted with polluting facilities, dangerous technologies and other threats to their health and community.
