Since the discovery Aceh as industry of oil fields in 1977, the city of Lhokseumawe was called the city of petro dollars due to the abundant production resources. Currently conflict in Aceh took place in 1989 large firms that remain in operation and the military gets involved security because it feared disruption of Free Aceh Movement (GAM). Thus, in the years the existence of one Exxon Mobil in North Aceh district has now brought new suffering for the Acehnese people, especially in community in environments Exxon Mobil. Unfortunately, human rights inherent in every human being are universal, applicable anywhere and to anyone. Now, been abandoned with the discovery of liquid mercury in the area allegedly used Exxon Mobil activity has raised the question of how these giant companies to manage waste, especially hazardous and toxic wastes. The results of the observations made show that Exxon Mobil has not correctly implement environmental management. This is evidenced by the discovery of dangerous liquid mercury in several districts in the surrounding that area. It is estimated that approximately one hundred children have been in contact with liquid mercury is alleged vast land around the village, Nibong subdistrict, Matangkuli subdistrict, langkahan subdistrict, Syamtalira Aroen subdistricts around the Exxon project.

This becomes a terrible impact on generation successor in particular in North Aceh, exploitation of gas that has caused misery throughout the every year, when governments and companies Exxon Mobil does not comply with the rules of good environmental management in accordance with national and international law that is concerned with the UN on the issue environment has been started, in 1972 in Sweden through the arrangements for the first environmental in Stockholm.

The presence of Exxon, it just spawned economic and social, welfare law. About the condition of social dynamics, economy and politics that took place in Aceh and poor system about environment for the emergence of pollution disasters. Since Exxon Mobil operates in the Aceh problem destroying the harmony of life springing up around them. The extents of poverty that it does not to repair the life of community and was grow up the case of environmental violations impacts and human rights. The project threatens Exxon Mobil community through a variety of cases of water and air pollution sources to settlement, especially close to mine gas pipelines and waste waster chimney.

Indonesia also one of resource rich country, including in the provinces that the province of Aceh in some periods and even now become an idol in the exploration of petroleum and natural gas. In natural gas exploration in North Aceh is magnificent in the not long lasting in the future because the area will also be depleted. Even if the estimated new gas wells are found, in 2014 will suffer the same fate for community. Today, Aceh was the target of sourcing petroleum undertaken by Zaratech.

The issue over sovereignty and control of natural resources, the right to build is the responsibility of the state in environmental management, related to pollution, the precautionary principle and the human rights over natural resources. However, with the cases, the state has failed to ensure the protection of the environment and good for the community. There are no reports of transparency to the public about the value that has been derived from the exploitation. Conditions such cases may occur also in other regions in the exploitation of natural resources like. Of course, if this condition is ignored, it can be predicted to adversely affect the future of agriculture in Aceh due to environmental factors that have been damaged.

With a high level of environmental destruction, but environmental issues did not a significant part of the government in solving the environmental cases.
