1234 Nicaraguan holders of judgments against Dow Chemical, Shell and Occidental Petroleum seek to collect those judgments in France. These Nicaraguan banana workers were sterilized after repeated exposure to the chemical DCBP, a nematode pesticide which the defendant chemical companies knew to be dangerous to exposed workers when it was sold and used. Most of the Judgments were affirmed by the Supreme Court of Nicaragua and run with statutory post judgment interest which has already caused the judgments to be worth in excess of 1.6 Billion U. S. dollars.

Upon having the French courts recognize the judgments for collection, assets of the chemical companies in France and the European Union will be pursued to finally bring the awaited compensation to these long suffering victims.
