A notable trial in Sweden involves former Swiss oil executives Alex Schneiter and Ian Lundin, accused of complicity in crimes against civilians during the Sudanese civil war from 1999 to 2003. The court proceedings address the extent to which resource companies may operate in conflict zones, with potential life sentences for the accused. The trial, which has been ongoing since September 2023, questions the executives’ requests for military action to protect oil operations, despite allegedly knowing it would harm civilians. Final verdicts are expected in 2026.
