This year will mark the 30th anniversary of one of the world’s worst industrial disasters: the toxic gas leak on 2 December 1984 from the Union Carbide India Limited factory in Bhopal, India. However, the negative consequences of the disaster have never been properly remedied. Amnesty International urges the Government of India to initiate an authoritative assessment and clean-up of the environmental contamination at the site. The organisation calls on the Government of the United States to ensure that US-based companies comply with ongoing legal actions.
