[PDF] UK NATIONAL CONTACT POINT – REVISED FINAL STATEMENT: SPECIFIC INSTANCE: BTC PIPELINE

The BP report addressed compensation and grievance concerns and did not address the negotiation and constraints of the BTC legal framework. Accordingly, the UK NCP has not substantively reopened complaints 1, 2 and 5...the UK NCP considers that in relation to complaint 3 the company did not breach the Guidelines...the UK NCP has substantively reopened complaint 4...the company failed to identify specific complaints of intimidation against affected communities by local security forces where the information was received outside of the formal grievance and monitoring channels, and, by not taking adequate steps in response to such complaints, failed to adequately safeguard against the risk of local partners undermining the overall consultation and grievance process...[The UK NCP] recommends that the company consider and report on ways that it could strengthen procedures.
