`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`2.
`
`This case arises as a result of the actions of Defendant Chiquita Brands International, Inc.,
`
`and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Chiquita”), in funding, arming, and otherwise
`
`supporting terrorist organizations in Colombia in their campaign of terror against the civilian
`
`population of the Urabá region, in order to maintain its profitable control of Colombia’s banana
`
`growing regions. Plaintiffs are family members of trade unionists, banana workers, political
`
`organizers, social activists, and others targeted and killed by terrorists, most notably paramilitary
`
`organizations including the United Self-Defense Groups of Colombia (Autodefensas Unidas de
`
`Colombia, or AUC), from at least 1992 through 2004. In order to produce bananas in an environment
`
`free from labor opposition and social disturbances, Chiquita funded, armed, and otherwise
`
`supported these paramilitary groups. The deaths of Plaintiffs’ relatives were a direct, foreseeable, and
`
`intended result of Chiquita’s illegal and tortious support of terrorist organizations. Chiquita’s actions
`
`violated not only Colombian law and U.S. law, but also customary international law prohibiting
`
`crimes against humanity, extrajudicial killing, torture, war crimes, and other abuses.
