Practice What You Preach: Theory and Practice of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC)\u2019s Stakeholder Engagement Plan in Chad<\/a>\u00a0| 9 January 2014 | IPIS
\nThe past decade has seen a staggering increase in Chinese investment flows in Africa, leaping from USD 392 million in 2005 to USD 2520 million in 2012. Chinese Government officials often describe the burgeoning Sino-African ties as \u2018win-win partnerships\u2019, emphasizing how their \u2018non-interference\u2019 policy truly allows African countries to choose their own development path.
\nAgainst this background, doubts may arise with regard to the environmental and social standards applied by Chinese companies conducting business overseas, especially in post-conflict states with poor human rights records and inadequate governance structures.\u00a0The case discussed in this paper concerns the operations of the Chadian branch of the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Business, Human Rights, and Uganda\u2019s Oil – Part II: Protect and Remedy: Implementing State duties under the UN Framework on Business and Human Rights<\/a>\u00a0| December 2013 | IPIS
\nThe following is the second in a series of four reports exploring business and human rights issues in Uganda\u2019s oil sector. This series is a collaboration between IPIS vsw and ActionAid Uganda.
\nIn accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, this second report assesses the duty of the Ugandan, British, French and Chinese States to prevent, investigate, punish and redress human rights abuse by businesses.<\/p>\n

In search of clean water: human rights and the mining industry in Katanga, DRC<\/a>\u00a0| 27 November 2013 | IPIS
\nToday, around 1,8 billion people in the world do not have access to safe water. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the most water-rich country in Africa, 51 million people lack access to potable water; only 26% of the population has access to safe drinking water. This is one of the lowest access rates in the world.
\nIn the Katanga province, rich in cobalt and copper, some industrial mining companies operate provoking significant pollution of water sources, seriously affecting the local population. Although there is a lack of comprehensive data available, several studies conducted by local civil society show environmental, health and socio-economic negative effects.<\/p>\n

\nThis new IPIS\/TA report explains why the conclusion of the latest United Nations report on North Korea sanctions, about an arms flight grounded in Thailand, is not supported by facts, but based on a misalliance of wrong and misleading information, gleaned both about the cargo aircraft, its flight and the entities involved, together with erroneous interpretations of standard aviation practices made by the UN Panel of experts on North Korea.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the interactive map of artisanal mining areas in Eastern DR Congo<\/a>\u00a0| 12 November 2013 | IPIS
\nIn August 2009 the \u2018International Peace Information Service\u2019 (IPIS) published a first map of militarised mining areas in Eastern DR Congo. By 2012, the international interest in the issue had grown but the map was out-dated. To find a structural solution, IPIS sat down with the Congolese mining cadastre (CAMI) and agreed to set up a permanent system to monitor artisanal mining activities and the involvement of armed groups in the mineral exploitation and trade.\u00a0A first version of the resulting map has been published at\u00a0https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/\/mapping\/webmapping<\/a>. It shows the location of nearly 800 mining sites and 85 trading centres, including information about armed groups presence and involvement, and the scale of the mining activity. The map includes at least 410 cases of illegal taxation by armed groups or the Congolese army.<\/p>\n

‘Conflict Minerals’ initiatives in DR Congo: Perceptions of local mining communities<\/a>\u00a0| 12 November 2013 | IPIS
\nThe exploitation of minerals is an important source of income for many communities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Yet this mineral wealth also plays a significant role in the continuation of insecurity in parts of the country.
\nOver recent years, several domestic, regional and international initiatives have been developed to address the so-called \u2018conflict minerals\u2019 problem and the high level of informality in the DRC\u2019s artisanal mining sector. These initiatives have provoked varying reactions regarding their impact on local livelihoods.
\nThis report aims to provide insight into the impact of initiatives on the livelihood strategies of local communities in the DRC, based on field research in a wide range of mining areas; and document the perceptions of local stakeholders of these initiatives and their impacts.<\/p>\n

IPIS Insights:<\/em>\u00a0Why businesses should assess human rights impacts from the outset of projects. SOCO International Oil Company in Virunga National Park, DRC<\/a>\u00a0| 26 August 2013 | International Peace Information Service (IPIS)
\nSOCO International, a British oil company, is prospecting for oil in the Democratic Republic of Congo\u2019s Virunga National Park \u2013 a World Heritage Site. For the past year, their presence has been criticised for putting a fragile environment at risk. However, more recently, their impact on human rights has also been questioned. In this Insights IPIS looks at why it is so vital for companies to employ rights-respectful processes, such as those advised in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, from the very beginning of the prospection stage.<\/p>\n

The formalisation of artisanal mining in the DRC and Rwanda<\/a>\u00a0| December 2012 [April 2013]\u00a0| IPIS
\nThis report describes and evaluates initiatives to formalise the artisanal mining sector in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda, in order to locate lessons learned. We hope that these perspectives will support the formation of well-informed policy and regulatory options \u2013 both by the EU and by harvesting countries \u2013 concerning the formalisation of timber production in tropical countries.
\nThe report was commissioned by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), which is dedicated to advancing human well-being, environmental conservation and equity through providing information that leads to better informed and equitable decision making about the use and management of forests in tropical countries.<\/p>\n

Gold and diamonds in the Central African Republic. The country’s mining sector, and related social, economic and environmental issues<\/a>\u00a0| 26 March 2013 | IPIS
\nGold and diamonds in Central Africa easily conjure up images of conflict, rebel funding, human rights violations, and smuggling. As a country landlocked within an unstable region, neighbouring the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and recently the scene of another coup, the Central African Republic (CAR) might be considered an appropriate candidate for analysis within the conflict-mineral perspective. Yet this framework would ignore the country\u2019s mining sector\u2019s very specific characteristics. The sector offers an essential livelihood to many households, represents the country\u2019s second most important export product, and is organised in a particular way. Nonetheless, a wide range of issues regarding the country\u2019s mining sector persist.
\nThis report aims to analyse both the Central African Republic\u2019s gold and diamond mining sector and related environmental and socio-economic issues.<\/p>\n

Pinocchio Ltd. The NRA and its corporate partners: US shipments of small arms ammunition by sea<\/a>\u00a0| 25 March 2013 | TA-R\u00a0| IPIS
\nThe National Rifle Association (NRA) claims to have monitored in the last 20 years all United Nations activities that could impact Second Amendment rights. Its latest target is the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), an international treaty to establish common international standards for the import, export, and transfer of conventional arms presently under discussion at the United Nations. The international community has been calling for the inclusion of ammunition and civilian arms within the scope of the ATT. This reasonable call is used by the NRA to claim that the ATT could restrict the lawful ownership of firearms in the United States.<\/p>\n

Major Powers Fuelling Atrocities. Why the\u00a0world needs a robust Arms Trade Treaty<\/a>\u00a0| March 2013 | Amnesty International
\nIPIS contributed to the research for this AI report.
\nEvery year, thousands of people are killed, injured, raped and forced to \ufb02ee from their homes as a result of abuses and atrocities committed with conventional arms and ammunition. Harrowing testimonies and images from con\ufb02ict zones and human rights crises around the world underline the urgent need to end irresponsible arms transfers and illicit traf\ufb01cking.<\/p>\n

The Arms Trade Treaty: Building a Path\u00a0to Disarmament<\/a>\u00a0| 19 March 2013 |\u00a0Sergio Finardi, Brian Wood, Peter Danssaert, Ken Matthysen
\nThe goal of this article is to examine and suggest proposals that could enhance the role of the international Arms Trade Treaty\u2014presently in discussion at the United Nations\u2014in the regulation of the international arms trade and in addressing the role of the legal trade in: a) providing the bulk of the arms used in armed conflicts, armed violence and human rights abuses; b) the excessive arming of developing countries; and c) the continuous unsettling of power balances in sensitive world regions, not least because of competition amongst arms-exporting countries.<\/p>\n
