Can the OECD Guidelines protect human rights on the ground?

A case study: The Evictions at Mufulira by First Quantum Minerals / Mopani Copper Mines

Despite their revision in 2000, there have been relatively few examples of the successful use of the framework provided by the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (the Guidelines) to solve real problems on the ground. It is therefore not surprising that when a 2001 complaint regarding evictions of subsistence farmers from the land of Mopani Copper Mines—a Canadian/Swiss owned mine located in Zambia—was resolved to the satisfaction of all parties, it became a frequently citied case study of how the Guidelines could and should work.
