Description
The International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal (ICJB) is a worldwide coalition of some 20 people's organizations, non-profit groups and individuals who have joined forces to campaign for justice — legal and economic — for the survivors of the 1984 Union Carbide toxic gas leak in Bhopal, India — the world's worst industrial disaster. Organizations of survivors in Bhopal play a leading role in the international network. Twenty-two years later, ICJB members continue to pressure Union Carbide's current owner, the Dow Chemical Company, and the US and Indian governments to clean up the abandoned chemicals left at the site and ensure adequate health care, a safe environment and proper rehabilitation for the survivors of the disaster and their children.
