A historical trial against two former executives at the Swedish oil company Lundin Oil, now Orrn Energy, is currently taking place in Sweden. The two corporate leaders have both been indicted with complicity in grave war crimes in what is now South Sudan.

Core International Crimes in Times of War
Armed attacks on civilian targets such as schools and hospitals, torture, executions, and the use of chemical weapons. Core international crimes are committed around the world without those responsible for the crimes being held accountable. Through legal means, we work to hold perpetrators accountable. We work to achieve justice for their victims and to keep dictators awake at night.
