Snapshot co-organized by the Working Group on Business and Human Rights Broederlijk Delen 

As investments into so-called “critical” minerals mining projects expand, local (indigenous) communities are often still left without effective mechanisms to protect their rights and to hold both states and private actors accountable for harm. This raises questions on the effectiveness of existing mechanisms for prevention, accessing justice and remediation that go beyond the particular of specific settings, highlighting the need for cross-continental learning and more coordinated global action for effective protection of human rights in the context of rising mineral demand. This session therefore aims to share insights, lessons and recommendations, drawing from specific experiences in Africa and Latin America.
