			<description>Over three decades of oil drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon, Chevron dumped more than 18 billion gallons of toxic wastewater into the rainforest, leaving local people suffering a wave of cancers, miscarriages and birth defects. Now, with the support of an international campaign for justice, the communities affected by Chevron’s negligence are holding one of the world’s largest oil companies to account.</description>

<title>Ecuadoreans Call for U.S. Help in Chevron Arbitration</title> 
<link>http://chevrontoxico.com/news-and-multimedia/2012/0130-ecuadoreans-call-for-us-help-in-chevron-arbitration.html</link> 
<description><![CDATA[ In last week's rejection of Chevron's attempt to use U.S. courts to block enforcement of the Lago Agrio plaintiffs' $18 billion Ecuadorean judgment, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit was clearly uneasy at the idea of American judges interfering with foreign jurisprudence. So far, the arbitration panel overseeing Chevron's case against the Republic of Ecuador has had no such qualms. But with Chevron now relying heavily on the arbitration process to protect it from plaintiffs' attempts to claim oil company assets, the panel's power over foreign courts is going to become a key issue &ndash; and the Ecuadorean plaintiffs are now calling for the U.S. government to support Ecuador's sovereignty. Chevron, meanwhile, argues that if anyone has caused harm to Ecuador's constitution, it's the Republic and the Lago Agrio plaintiffs, not Chevron and the arbitration panel. ]]></description>

Chevron has always believed that Ecuador's many laws prohibiting environmental contamination should not apply to the company's misconduct. ]]></description>
