1. Introduction:On the morning of December 3, 1984, a tragic event occurred in the city of Bhopal, in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. It has been known as the world's worst industrial disaster. A plant of Union Carbide India, Limited (UCIL) released 40 tonnes of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas which instantly killed over 3,000 people and went on to cause deaths of over 20,000. This tragic event involved not only technical and safety issues of the time, but also ethical questions on the responsibility of those who could have prevented the tragedy from happening and of those who denied or intentionally diminished the responsibility for having caused it.2. Background of the organization involved: In the statement regarding the Bhopal tragedy the Union Carbide Corporation stated that: The Bhopal plant was owned and operated by Union Carbide India, Limited (UCIL), an Indian company in which Union Carbide Corporation held only more than half of the shares Other shareholders included Indian financial institutions and thousands of private investors in India. The plant was designed, built and managed by UCIL, making use of Indian consultants and workers (statement from the Union Carbide Corporation). By stating this, Union Carbide Corporation sought to change the direction of the company's focus to UCIL, which is technically owned by Union Carbide by owning over half of the shares. They also specified that the plant was designed, built and managed by the Indian company (UCIL - of which they declared they owned "only" more than half of the shares) making use of Indian consultants and workers. However Union Carbide said, stated or declared that they are still held responsible for the ethical tragedy...... half of document...... Lepowski, W. (December 19, 1994). "Ten Years Later: Bhopal".
