This is such a timely case.

Swede Ian Lundin and Swiss national Alex Schneiter are accused of asking Sudan's government to make its military responsible for security at the site of one of Lundin Oil's exploration fields, which later led to aerial bombings, killing of civilians and burning of entire villages, according to the prosecution.

A scenario that happens a lot. I really hope this case sets a precedent. Western global corporates exacerbate (or even incite) way too much regional conflict.
