UK National Contact Point (NCP) for OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises

[DOC] Statement by the UK National Contact Point (NCP) for OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises: Das Air

The National Contact Point (NCP) considered the complaint...alleging that DAS Air (i) failed to apply due diligence when transporting minerals from Entebbe and Kigali, which had a reasonable probability of being sourced from the conflict zone in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); and (ii) undertook flights between Entebbe airport and the conflict zone in Eastern DRC. These flights coincided with an illegal occupation of the area by the Ugandan military, during a period when the United Nations and NGO’s recorded human rights abuses...The NCP upheld the allegations brought by Rights and Accountability in Development (RAID) and concluded that DAS Air had failed to meet the requirements of the Guidelines.
