I agree with the French government’s charges against Lafarge and its managers
Yes, I agree with the French government’s charges against Lafarge and its managers. The French government brought the charge against Lafarge cement for paying and communicating the ISIS in Syria via their local branch. The ISIS was recognized as a group of inhuman activities that promote terrorism across Syria. Lafarge took an unethical step to sustain the security and human rights of its employees in Syria. Lafarge argued that it was almost impossible for Lafarge to trade its cement freely in Syria without maintaining a friendly relation with ISIS as the threats of ISIS terrorized the entire area.
Moreover, the terrorist group kidnapped some of the officials of Lafarge. Hence, it started paying ISIS through various intermediaries. The government counter-argued the fact stating that paying ISIS was not fruitful for the company as the branch office of Lafarge was still under the threat of Lafarge and kidnapped many of its employees. The company could have asked support from the local government or the French government to provide them security. Instead, the company took illegal means to save the lives of its employees.
Thus, I agree with the charges imposed by the French government on Lafarge cement.
