It's sad that the global tour, in answer to your question, is getting larger and larger. As the world becomes smaller, as we become more and more aware of these issues, as organizations like our two organizations and others start to look more closely at these cases, we are starting to see more and more instances where companies, domestic and foreign, large and small, are very much in the midst of situations in which armed conflict and human rights abuses are taking a heavy civilian toll.
Amnesty's work in this area has ranged far and wide. I remember when Talisman Energy was present in Sudan. I remember our concerns about the operations of Ivanhoe Mines in Burma, and Anvil Mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Recently, we have been looking at a number of situations in Central and South America. There is a possibility that security forces employed by HudBay Minerals might have been associated with civilian killings Guatemala, and there are questions about Goldcorp's Guatemala operations.
In a lot of these instances the allegations remain unclarified. It has not been possible to get clear about where the responsibility lies. But there is no question that in these operations we hear of contested claims to land, concerns that indigenous peoples aren't being adequately consulted, and other things. This foments unrest in the area. Companies that don't have a solid human rights approach to these situations can find themselves confronting serious human rights challenges.
