"In a July 29 [2002] letter to a Washington judge, the State Department's legal adviser warned that a lawsuit against a U.S. oil giant for alleged complicity in human-rights abuses committed by Indonesian security forces could prompt Jakarta to discriminate against American firms when awarding contracts, and to stop cooperating in the global war on terrorism." (FAR EASTERN ECONOMIC REVIEW) This article identifies how the U.S. government is warning of the political and economic fallout possible in relation to "a lawsuit against ExxonMobil for alleged human rights abuses by Indonesian security forces protecting the company's natural gas fields in Aceh.".
