<sod>Since the late 1980s, [[ExxonMobil]] Corporation, along with its predecessor companies, Mobil Oil Corporation and Mobil Oil Indonesia, hired military units of the Indonesian national army to provide security for their gas extraction and liquefaction project in Aceh, Indonesia{{citation needed|date=January 2016}}. Members of these military units have been accused of perpetrating human rights abuses against local villagers. Fearing for the lives of its employees after a series of attacks, ExxonMobil shut down its Arun natural gas operations in Aceh in March 2001.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/24/business/exxon-mobil-in-fear-exits-indonesian-gas-fields.html|title=Exxon Mobil, in Fear, Exits Indonesian Gas Fields|date=24 March 2001|work=The New York Times}}</ref> In 2015, ExxonMobil sold its Aceh operations to [[Pertamina]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/09/14/exxonmobil-sells-aceh-assets-pertamina.html|title=ExxonMobil sells Aceh assets to Pertamina|publisher=}}</ref> The company denies these accusations; its primary defense is that the human rights violations which were occurring were not a result of specific intention of the organization and therefore it cannot be held liable.<eod>
