Human Rights in the Extractive Industries: Transparency, Participation, Resistance

Description

(Interdisciplinary Studies in Human Rights) 1st ed. 2019 Edition 

by Isabel Feichtner (Editor), Markus Krajewski (Editor), Ricarda Roesch (Editor) 

This book addresses key challenges and conflicts arising in extractive industries (mining, oil drilling) concerning the human rights of workers, their families, local communities and other stakeholders. Further, it analyses various instruments that have sought to mitigate human rights violations by defining transparency-related obligations and participation rights. These include the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), disclosure requirements, and free, prior and informed consent (FPIC). The book critically assesses these instruments, demonstrating that, in some cases, they produce unwanted effects. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of resistance to extractive industry projects as a response to human rights violations, and discusses how transparency, participation and resistance are interconnected.
