Four Ugandan farmers file a case in the High Court in London against the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), a project under construction in Uganda and Tanzania, according to human rights and media reports. The farmers’ complaint is connected to the pipeline’s UK-registered company, EACOP Ltd, which is financing and associated with the project led by TotalEnergies. The lawsuit seeks to require EACOP Ltd to comply with Ugandan constitutional, environmental and climate laws, with the plaintiffs arguing that those rules should apply despite the company’s registration in the United Kingdom. The project is described as a 1,443-kilometer (897-mile) pipeline intended to connect Uganda’s Tilenga and Kingfisher oil fields to a route in Tanzania. The farmers’ action is presented as a crowdfunded effort and is announced in connection with a press conference. The sources do not report the legal outcome, but they outline the central claim: that a UK-registered entity should be held to enforceable obligations under Ugandan law relating to environmental impacts and climate commitments.
