U.S. Supreme Court considers whether U.S. companies are liable for enslavement abroad
Washington, December 2 (RHC)-- The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments this week in a case pitting six former child slave laborers against Nestlé USA and Cargill. The men were trafficked from Mali as children and forced to work on cocoa plantations in Ivory Coast, where they were routinely tortured.
The farms supplied to the U.S. corporations, who the plaintiffs say were complicit in their enslavement.
