Table Of ContentProfits, Security, and Human Rights
in Developing Countries
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 com-
plaints 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,
Segovia, 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 Cor-
porate Social Responsibility Programs in a manner that promotes simultane-
ously corporate security and community human security?
Written in a clear and accessible style, Profits, Security, and Human Rights pres-
ents practical lessons on how to promote both corporate security and human
security in communities where the extractive sector operates in the Global
South.
James Rochlin is Professor of Political Science at the University of British
Columbia – Okanagan. He has published widely in the areas of Latin American
Politics, Global Theory, and Critical Security.
