Letter to Sarah Knuckey regarding independent review of Porgera Remedy Framework
...[A] group of leading experts from civil society in human rights, the Guiding Principles, violence against women, and the mining industry...is providing guidance and advice for the Remedy Framework review and final report. This external committee operates independently of Barrick. Our role at Barrick is primarily to respond to requests for interviews and provide logistical support to the process. Although at the outset Barrick selected the entity to conduct the assessments..., Barrick is not overseeing the review process... [Our] primary goal has been to create an independent structure involving a range of expert perspectives that will lead to a credible assessment of the Porgera Remedy Framework... The structure in place reflects that sincere effort.
