Business and security sector reform: the case for corporate security responsibility
Documentos PDF
Abstract
Companies make a significant contribution to creating jobs and generating
economic growth, raising living standards and helping to lift people out of
poverty. Most businesses manage in a responsible way their different roles in
society – as producer, employer, marketer, customer, taxpayer and neighbour.1
Nonetheless, businesses are also sometimes associated with or linked to human
rights violations – even if unwittingly. Many of the most serious abuses related
to corporate operations occur in weak governance areas in relation to extractive
industries – oil, mining and gas. Typically, such instances of abuse involve at some
point the presence of security actors – public, private or non-statutory – given
the importance of extractives to the political economy of natural-resource-rich
countries. Many complaints against the extractive industries refer in fact to the
conduct of government security personnel allegedly using inappropriate force in
the name of protecting company staff or facilities.
