European Coalition on Oil in Sudan (ECOS)

This website is a database full of publicly available documents about oil exploitation in Sudan and South Sudan from the 1980s to 2013. It is a new version of the website that the European Coalition on Oil in Sudan (ECOS) maintained until 2014, made more comprehensive and searchable to serve as an accessible resource for researchers, journalists and all others who are interested in recent history of the Sudans through the lens of oil exploitation.

The site will not be updated with post-2013 developments. But if you find something is missing, we will be very happy to add it to the database. Please, let us know.

PAX, the Dutch peace movement that used to hold the secretariat of ECOS, will be maintaining this site.

Unpaid Debt A comprehensive overview of the role of the Lundin Consortium in the oil war. ECOS calls upon the Swedish, Austrian and Malaysian governments to investigate whether, as a matter of international law, Lundin, OMV and Petronas 'were complicit in the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity by others during the period 1997-2003.’ In response, the Swedish Public Prosecutor for International crimes opened a criminal investigation into ‘links between Sweden and the reported crimes’.
