Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights: Doors Open to New Participants
The Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights Plenary today announced it will open participation to more extractives companies, non governmental organizations (NGOs) and host governments.

[current participating companies are Amerada Hess, Anglo American, BG Group, BHP Billiton, BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Freeport McMoRan, Marathon Oil, Newmont Mining, Norsk Hydro, Occidental, Rio Tinto, Shell, Statoil]
