The MIT Program on Human Rights and Justice
announces a seminar on
"Enforcing Human Rights in the Global Economy"
presented by
Terry Collingsworth
International Labor Rights Fund, Washington DC
Monday, December 9th, 2:30-4:00PM
Building 10, Room 401 (77 Massachusetts Ave)
Mr. Collingsworth is a labor and human rights attorney
specializing in trade and international labor rights issues. He has been
General Counsel of the International Labor Rights Fund (ILRF) since 1989,
and Executive Director since 2001. His primary activities are directing the
ILRF's litigation, developing legislative proposals to regulate labor
rights in the global economy, building coalitions with other groups to
address human rights and labor rights issues in international forums, and
researching conditions for workers in developing countries. On behalf of
Burmese victims of forced labor, he initiated a landmark case under the
Alien Tort Claims Act, John Roe III et al v. Unocal Corporation et al,
seeking to hold Unocal liable for human rights violations that occurred
during the construction of its gas pipeline in Burma. He has filed similar
cases against Coca-Cola, for allowing the murder and torture of trade union
leaders at its bottling plants in Colombia, Exxon Mobil, for human rights
violations of its military security forces in Aceh, Indonesia, and Del
Monte, for using paramilitary thugs to torture leaders of the banana
workers union in Guatemala.
