...Our objective in this publication is to filter the fracking debate through [the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights], and in so doing gain insight on how to understand fracking through an ordered and logical (and widely accepted) business and human rights lens... We envision three likely (or potential) users of this publication... People, communities and organizations concerned with the potential or actual risks and impacts of fracking activity... oil and gas (and associated) companies to map out human rights issues which are material to their operations... public officials willing to explore governance alternatives to monitor, regulate, and bring the oil and gas sector into human rights compliance.
