The extractive sector is a particular area of expertise for Canada
and more than half of Canada's mining assets abroad are located in
Latin America, specifically in Brazil, Peru, Chile, and Colombia.
The Canada-Colombia accord was the first free-trade agreement in
the world to include annual Human Rights Impact Assessments (HRIA),
and also includes a labour side accord where abuse complaints can
be formally registered. Using Colombia as a case study, James
Rochlin and his international and multidisciplinary line up of
Canadian and Colombian scholars, and activists working in the area
of human rights, and the judiciary explore: What is the best way to
identify and operationalize for mutual benefit the concentric space
between the interests of extractive corporations in profit and
security, on the one hand, and the interests of the host
communities in the promotion of human rights and human security, on
the other? What can the four emblematic and diverse cases in
Colombia (Meta, Sergovia, Marmato, and Bolivar/La Guajira) tell us
about how to fine tune and improve a newly implemented governmental
HRIA to render it an increasingly useful global instrument to
promote simultaneously corporate security and human security for
host communities? What is the most efficient and effective way to
design and implement Corporate Social Responsibility Programs in a
manner that promotes simultaneously corporate security and
community human security? Written in a clear and accessible style,
Profits, Security, and Human Rights presents practical lessons on
how to promote both corporate security and human security in
communities where the extractive sector operates in the Global
South.
