A longstanding US lawsuit filed against ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) that alleges the oil and gas giant was responsible for human rights violations, including se-ual as----t, battery and wrongful death, that was committed by members of the Indonesian military, looks set to be heard after 20 years, as the company’s repeated attempts to block the trials have been overturned.

@qjl+1i88rlUv sounds just like America
Indonesia is very tribal. If members from the military are assigned a security detail in Northern Sumatra and they are not from there they will assert their power over the locals in many different ways. Using s-x as a means of dominance in tribal cultures is very common. Don't hold ExxonMobil accountable for these goings, especially many years after the fact.
EM had zero control over the actions of armed military personnel. EM did not instruct any military personnel to commit any crime.
Very simple concept.
What I have witnessed, the federal government of these small countries sends in military personnel to protect EM facilities. The military personnel are typically from a far off region of the country and there is natural hatred between the local tribe and the military personnel. Typically even though same nationality, they speak different languages. This hatred can result in clashes and criminal abuse on both sides. EM has no control over such situations. The government of the little country is mostly to blame.
ExxonMobil is worthy of lawsuits. It has elements of evil nature embedded in it.
