Issues of case UNOCAL in Burma
Issues that arose in the case are the government of Burma is a military dictatorship accused of violating the human rights of the Burmese people. The U.S. State Department, in it is 1991s "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices" wrote that the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) maintained order through "arrests, harassment, and torture of political activists. Torture, arbitrary detentions, and compulsory labor persisted. Freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and association remain practically nonexistent."

"The [Burmese] Government's unacceptable record on human rights changed little in 1994s. The Burmese military forced hundreds of thousands of ordinary Burmese (including women and children) to "contribute" their labor, often under harsh working conditions, to construction projects throughout the country. The forced resettlement of civilians also continued."
These are very unethical behavior as everyone should have their own human rights. Each individual should not be forced to do something they do not want to do things. In this event, the Burmese military have been seriously violated the human rights. They do not treat those residents as the right way they should be treated. All women and children were forced by the military to also contribute their labor to help them complete the project. On the other hand, they also are forced to complete the pipelines construction across the country which is a very bad and cruel thing to do. In 1996s, Burmese army used forced labor and brutalizing the Karen population to provide "security" for Unocal workers and equipment. Local people that said they were exhausted to work will be beaten and tortured, forced portering (carrying supplies), looting of homes and food supplies, rape, and even murder were carried out to those who resisted the orders. These people are taken from their
