UN Experts on Principles on Critical Minerals: State Parties to Non-Ratified Human Rights Instruments have commitments in the context of transition minerals

"All action on critical energy transition minerals must respect human rights: UN experts", 18 September 2024

"UN experts* today welcomed the emphasis placed by the UN Secretary General’s Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals on ensuring human rights are at the core of all mineral value chains. They issued the following statement:

Notably, businesses should identify and assess human rights risks throughout the value chain and life cycle of critical minerals, take effective measures to prevent and mitigate such risks, and track whether those measures are effective. Business should also communicate information sufficient to those potentially affected, in particular Indigenous Peoples, and ensure access to effective remedies to people who suffer adverse effects..."
