On December 9, 2009, Frente de Defensa San Miguelense (FREDEMI), a Guatemalan NGO, assisted by Centre for International Environmental Law (CIEL)...filed a request for review with the Canadian National Contact Point (NCP). A number of issues were raised in relation to the Marlin Mine in Guatemala, owned and operated by Canadian company Goldcorp Inc...related to the implementation of Paragraph 2 of the General Policies (Chapter II) of the OECD Guidelines which states that enterprises should "respect the human rights of those affected by their activities...". The notifiers indicated that they were seeking the closure of the mine and a statement from the NCP. The NCP's initial assessment was that the issues raised merited further examination....the NCP offered its "good offices" to facilitate a dialogue between the parties. The offer was accepted by the company. However, the notifiers declined the offer...The Nep's position is that communication and dialogue between the company and the notifiers are essential to the resolution of any disputes...Therefore, the NCP recommends that the parties participate in a constructive dialogue in good faith with a view to addressing the issues raised...The NCP considers this specific instance to be closed.
