[PDF] Cerrejón letter to UN Special Representative

Cerrejón [joint venture Anglo American, BHP Billiton, Xstrata] wishes to thank you and your team for the work developed in previous years synthesized in the “Protect, Respect, and Remedy” framework. We believe the framework is a valuable contribution to responsible and respectful company human rights behavior and it offers companies, States, and civil society a set of clear, broad, and comprehensive principles to promote and respect human rights. But also these guidelines are a constructive and integrated working tool useful for different social actors. We appreciate the extensive consultation process you lead, the practical spirit of the recommendations, and the wisdom and patience that allowed reaching these principles…Cerrejón is committed to the principles and they will definitely help us to improve our work.
