Lundin War Crimes Trial

The Lundin War Crimes Trial is a podcast series that follows the landmark criminal trial of two executives from the Swedish oil company Lundin, accused of aiding and abetting war crimes in Sudan between 1999 and 2003. The company also faces allegations of profiting from these crimes, which left a devastating impact on communities in what is now South Sudan. During Lundin's operations, 200,000 people were forcibly displaced, and 12,000 lives were lost. This podcast uncovers the human cost of corporate greed and explores a critical question: Can a Swedish court deliver justice for the survivors of this oil-fueled conflict?

    E19: Questioning History: A Lundin Defence Tactic

    One of the most striking aspects of the Lundin trial so far is one of the defense's core arguments: questioning whether war crimes occurred at all in the area where the company operated. Yet, to date, the court has seen little substantial evidence to support this claim. In today’s episode, we’re joined by two leading experts who have both testified during the trial — historian Douglas Johnson and peace and conflict researcher Associate Professor Johan Brosché. Together, they examine the credibility of the defense's position and explore whether, in light of the available facts, it is even reasonable to cast doubt on the occurrence of war crimes. Participants:  - Douglas H. Johnson, Historian, Sudan and South Sudan expert - Johan Brosché, Associate Professor in Peace and Conflict Research Host: - Halima Athumani Background: This is the Lundin War Crimes Trial, brought to you by PaX and Global Idé. The music in this podcast is made by the artist JJ Kang and edited by Roos Boer, producer and editor Sara Hadfy Högström. Visit unpaiddebt.org for more background and updates from the trial.

    E18: From Report to Trial - Unpaid Debt

    After nearly two decades of advocacy for victims of Sudan’s oil war, two central figures in the pursuit of justice finally took the stand. In this episode, we speak with Egbert Wesselink from PAX and Petter Bolme from Global Idé—who both recently testified in the Lundin trial. Egbert, author of the Unpaid Debt report that helped spark the investigation, and Petter, who has worked with Unpaid Debt for nearly 17 years, share their reflections on the courtroom experience, the defence’s efforts to undermine witness credibility, and what this trial could mean for corporate accountability and justice for victims.
