Ugandan farmers take TotalEnergies' pipeline to UK court
Ugandan farmers are challenging the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project in the UK's High Court, arguing that the project violates Ugandan constitutional, environmental, and climate laws. They aim to have these laws applied to EACOP Ltd, the UK-registered company backing the pipeline.

It's a significant move that could set a precedent for how multinational corporations address local legal standards and environmental impacts.
