[Letter to UN Special Representative on business & human right John Ruggie] [PDF]

I would like to commend your achievements in clarifying the corporate responsibility to respect human rights in particular, and providing a really practical guide for companies such as ours in their efforts to meet this responsibility...We can attest to the fact that [the "effectiveness principles" for grievance mechanisms] are both practical and of real operational benefit. It is my sincere hope that the Human Rights Council will endorse the Guiding Principles at its forthcoming session in June...Sakhalin Energy is committed to incorporating them into its own operations as part of our commitment to respect human rights.
