A Paris court on Thursday dismissed an appeal by French-Vietnamese former journalist Tran To Nga, who sought to sue Monsanto and other agrochemical companies for their role in producing Agent Orange, used by the US military to devastating effect during the Vietnam War. The court upheld the companies’ legal immunity, prompting Nga, who has faced severe health issues that she has linked to the chemical, to take her case to France’s highest appeals court.
