From the supplier: The Organization of American States sent an official delegation to the Oriente, Ecuador in Nov. 1994 to look into the alleged human rights violations in the area committed by Texaco Inc. and Maxus Energy Corp. In a report published by the National Resources Defense Council in 1991, it was estimated that Ecuadorian oil operations released 4.3 million gallons of toxic wastes in the Oriente everyday. These toxic wastes cause environmental degradation and deprive the indigenous people the right to a safe habitation.

This chronicle demonstrates Askin's legal challenges to the surveillance practices of the US army, the CIA and the FBI. It is about law, lawyers, politics and how individuals influence the establishment of public policy. As an active participant in battles for political and civil rights, this book covers Askin's struggles in various important roles throughout his life. It shows his struggle for affirmative action during the 1967 Newark riots and as a volunteer lawyer and general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, his defence of the ACLU's aggressive campaign against unreasonable regulations of individuals' thoughts and deeds. ...

Insightful, exciting read; convinced me to go to law school
For a long time I was looking for a book that could describe public-interest law from a day-to-day perspective. Although Askin packs decades of his career into the book, he provides lots of detail about the many victories and setbacks he has experienced--what happened in each case, why he believes it happened, how much luck played a role, how he disagreed with others about strategy, etc. In all it's the most accessible book about law I have ever read, thanks to Askin's friendly style, straightforward writing, and passion for the events he is describing. ...

Product Description
Ten years after the executions of writer and human rights campaigner Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight Ogoni companions in Nigeria, the peoples of the oil-producing Niger Delta continue to face death and devastation at the hands of the security forces. It is time for the Nigerian government to end the impunity enjoyed by the security forces. It is time for transnational oil corporations and the international community to ensure that business operates within the framework of international human rights standards for companies. Amnesty International is launching a campaign in support of the struggle of the Niger Delta peoples against deprivation and injustice, and for access to their rights and for the freedom to claim their rights. ...
