(Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan pipeline constructed by a consortium of MNC oil companies headed by BP.)

Please post recommendations, particularly with respect to BP's corporate social responsibility, corruption in Azarbaijan, Georgia and Turkey and any related human rights violations (both legal and physical) in these countries.

You can always start with the refences giving in Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan_pipeline - Wikipedia

For the position of BP on this,

http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9006669&contentId=7015093%20 - BP's site on this subject

And for recent news stories, I often use
%20http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=hlw&sa=N&resnum=0&q=Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&tab=wn - Google News

This is, of course, general information resources information. I hope that people who are experts in the area will contribute as well.

Thanks guys. I think others like BG Turk and Bulldog are quite well informed on this.

I would appreciate information from both perspectives, those for it and those against it and their arguments (preferably with sources, online or otherwise).

I will be applying ethics frameworks for a paper I am doing.

I heard the founder of Wiki saying that Wikipedia is not good as the final word on topics, but the starting point on topics.

I am glad to hear that the wiki helped in a positive way.
