Letter to Barrick Gold re: Human rights concerns regarding assessment of Porgera remedy mechanism

Ver todas las etiquetas

...[We] continue to have fundamental concerns about Barrick’s “independent” assessment... The responses from Barrick and Enodo to our letter did not adequately address our concerns. Indeed, the recent visit to PNG, which revealed high levels of dissatisfaction with the remedy mechanism and distrust in the company, only reinforced our view of the need for a fully independent assessment... [We] do not consider an assessment team funded and appointed by Barrick alone to be sufficiently “independent,” or to satisfy the quite clear 2013 Opinion of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). We were disappointed to read in the responses to our letter that Barrick would not take responsibility for ensuring real independence... We were also disappointed in the responses from Enodo as to our questions about their intended investigation methodologies for carrying out this difficult study.
