“African Barrick’s non-judicial grievance mechanisms at North Mara, Tanzania”, 22 April 2014

…We appreciate that ABG has reconsidered its earlier position and has now provided some additional information. But we note that most of our questions remain unanswered, including regarding the types of allegations of harm that have been received, the grievance process itself, and the nature of the compensation provided. Additionally, ABG has again set unnecessary limits around the provision of relevant information and has apparently mis-understood the transparency criteria set out in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights…Finally, we note that ABG misunderstands and misrepresents our opposition to the use of legal waivers in project-level non-judicial grievance mechanisms…[Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited African Barrick Gold to respond.
