This is the Lundin War Crimes Trial, a podcast series produced by PAX and Global Idé about the case against the Swedish company Lundin, accused of complicity in war crimes in South Sudan from 1999 to 2003.
The Lundin War Crimes Trial is a podcast series that follows the landmark criminal trial of two executives from the Swedish oil company Lundin, accused of aiding and abetting war crimes in Sudan between 1999 and 2003. The company also faces allegations of profiting from these crimes, which left a devastating impact on communities in what is now South Sudan.
During Lundin’s operations, 200,000 people were forcibly displaced, and 12,000 lives were lost. This podcast uncovers the human cost of corporate greed and explores a critical question: Can a Swedish court deliver justice for the survivors of this oil-fueled conflict?
This is the eight episode of our program in Nuer, the local language spoken in Unity State in the area where Block 5A was located and where the alleged crimes were committed.
This trial is about justice for the survivors, and we hope this podcast will reach the people affected and shed light on the process and the latest developments in court.
