This Guide is meant to assist communities and individuals who allege that their human rights, labour rights, or environmental rights have been breached by a Canadian-based mining or extractive company operating outside of Canada…In particular, this Guide provides basic information about accessing the Review Process set up by the Canadian government’s Office of the Extractive Sector Corporate Social Responsibility Counsellor (“CSR Counsellor”). The Guide also provides affected communities with general information about the various processes for resolution of claims…practical considerations associated with the CSR Counsellor’s Review Process…and sets out the requirements and time-line for submission of a request for review to the CSR Counsellor…Finally, the Appendix provides summaries of some of the standards that we understand will be considered by the CSR Counsellor in deciding whether a claim is eligible.
