[PDF] Letter to Chevron CEO Dave O'Reilly

We urgently request that you use your presence in Burma to pressure the military regime to respect human rights... In your policy on corporate responsibility you recognize that your presence in the countries in which you operate is not neutral; you clearly state that you condemn human rights abuses; and you clearly state your belief that companies can play a positive role in contributing to the protection and promotion of human rights. If there were ever a time to put this policy into action in Burma, it would be now.
