🚨BREAKING: Legal Action Against BP for Negligence in Facilitating Oil Supply to Israel Amid Ongoing Human Rights Violations 🚨
In a groundbreaking move, on behalf of Palestinian victims of alleged war crimes, Bindmans LLP has commenced the first step in a landmark legal claim against BP plc and the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Pipeline Company (BTC Co) by issuing a formal Letter Before Claim for a Civil Tort Negligence claim.
The claim alleges complicity in fuelling ongoing violations of international law and human rights in Gaza and focuses on BP’s continued supply and facilitation of crude oil to Israel via the BTC Pipeline, a critical infrastructure operated and majority-owned by BP.
Since October 2023, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated catastrophically, with over 43,000 deaths, massive displacement, and the collapse of essential services. Despite this, BP’s oil continues to reach Israel, fuelling military operations that have been linked to alleged human rights abuses, including war crimes and genocide.
The claimants are supported by the legal advocacy group, the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians @ICJPalestine, who were also instrumental in gathering evidence of BP's alleged negligence and potential complicity in war crimes.
The Letter Before Claim seeks:
➡️ An immediate halt to BP’s supply and facilitation of oil to Israel.
➡️ Full transparency through the disclosure of relevant documents and policies.
➡️ BP’s admission of liability and commitment to mediate damages.
➡️ A public apology for the harm caused to the claimants.
The Human Impact:
Our clients include individuals who have lost loved ones and suffered severe physical and psychological harm as a direct result of Israel's attacks in Gaza. This case is about seeking justice for them and holding BP accountable for its role in exacerbating the suffering.
A Message from Tayab Ali, Partner at Bindmans LLP
"The evidence against BP highlights an apparent failure to adhere to its human rights commitments. By facilitating oil transport to Israel’s military infrastructure, BP may have contributed to a humanitarian catastrophe. Our clients deserve justice, and we urge BP to act responsibly and halt its involvement immediately."
Let’s hold corporations accountable for their actions. 🌍
@Adalet82_82 ÇED raporuna köylü imza atmaz! Halk, sadece görüşlerini dile getirir halkı bilgilendirme toplantısında ama rapor onayına diğer kurumlardan da görüş alındıktan sonra Çevre Bakanlığı karar verir. Bilgi kirliliği gırla!
Loyal employees are targeted by managers for exploitation. The targeting of these loyal workers is driven by the assumption that loyal works are readily willing to make personal sacrifices.
The same thing happens in reverse: workers who agree (versus refuse) to be exploited in the workplace acquire stronger reputations for loyalty.
The relationship between loyalty and exploitation have the potential to create a vicious circle of suffering. Leaders and organizations should REWARD loyal workers rather than exploit them!

📝🇺🇳#UN#CraigMokhiber 🇮🇱#Israel 🇵🇸#Palestine#Gaza#Hamas#Hezbollah#TelAviv#Jerusalem: “Genocide” - Top UN Official Craig Mokhiber Resigns Denounces Israeli Assault on Gaza. Former senior UN official Craig Mokhiber, who has recently resigned from his post due to the UN and Western complicity in Israeli abuses, speaks about the current situation in Gaza and Palestine.
A former top United Nations official in New York joins us for an in-depth interview about why he has resigned after publicly accusing the U.N. of failing to address what he calls a "text-book case of genocide" unfolding in Gaza.
Craig Mokhiber is a longtime international human rights lawyer who served as director of the New York Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. His resignation letter has gone viral.
In one of his first interviews since leaving his post, Mokhiber tells _Democracy Now!_ the U.N. follows a "different set of rules" when addressing Israel's violations of international law, refusing to utilize its enforcement mechanisms and thus "effectively" acting as "a smokescreen behind which we have seen further and worsening dispossession of Palestinians." He says it is an "open secret inside the halls of the United Nations that the so-called two-state solution is effectively impossible,"
and calls for international actors to push for a "new paradigm" in the region based on "equality for all." We also discuss the inaction of the International Criminal Court, global suppression of pro-Palestinian advocacy, bad-faith accusations of antisemitism and more.

@iustitiaomnibu@alikdk Mobbingle ilgili düzenleme olmadığından ispat yüküyle ilgili de özel bir düzenleme bulunmuyor. Müstakil bir mobbing ile mücadele kanununun çıkması; mobbingin tanımının yapılması, kapsamının çıkarılması, hangi davranışların mobbing sayılacağının, süresinin belirlenmesi gerekiyor!
@iustitiaomnibu@alikdk İş yerinde mobbinge maruz kalan bir kişinin başvuracağı açık bir kanun maddesi bulunmadığı için, mobbing mağduru çalışan Türk Ceza Kanunu ya da İş Kanunu hükümlerinden faydalanarak derdine çözüm bulmaya çalışılıyor.
Hukuk sistemimizdeki bu büyük eksiklik bir an önce giderilmeli!
