The International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal (ICJB) is a worldwide coalition of some 20 people's organizations, non-profit groups and individuals who have joined forces to campaign for justice — legal and economic — for the survivors of the 1984 Union Carbide toxic gas leak in Bhopal, India — the world's worst industrial disaster.
