NETHERLANDS-NIGERIA-BRITAIN-OIL-COURT-SHELL

Lawyer Channa Samkalden (L) and Friends of the Earth spokesman Geert Ritsema talk on December 18, 2015, in The Hague after the Dutch appeals court ruled that four Nigerian farmers may take their case against oil giant Shell to a judge in the Netherlands, in a landmark ruling involving multinational corporate governance. The four farmers and fishermen, backed by the Dutch branch of environmental group Friends of the Earth, first filed the case in 2008 against the Anglo-Dutch company in a court case thousands of kilometres (miles) from their homes. They want Shell to clean up devastating oil spills in four heavily-polluted villages in the west African country's oil-rich Niger Delta, prevent further spills and pay compensation. / AFP / ANP / Marten van Dijl / Netherlands OUT (Photo credit should read MARTEN VAN DIJL/AFP via Getty Images)
