Tran To Nga Gives A Press Conference - Paris

French-Vietnamese Tran To Nga, 79, gives a press conference at the headquarters of the General Union of Vietnamese of France, in Paris, on May 11, 2021, a day after she failed in her bid to sue Monsanto and other makers of the toxic chemical Agent Orange over its use by the US as a weapon during the Vietnam War. Tran To Nga, born in 1942 in what was then French Indochina, accused 14 agrochemicals firms of causing grievous harm to her and others by selling Agent Orange to the American military, which used the herbicide to devastating effect in Vietnam. But the court in the Paris suburb of Evry, ruled that the firms had been "acting on the orders of, and on behalf of, the United States" and therefore enjoyed immunity from prosecution under international law, which prevents one country from judging the actions of another.
