Out-of-Court Settlement Good for Some Tanzanian Villagers – But Many Others Hindered from Participation by Barrick’s Grievance Mechanism
February 10, 2015
RAID and MiningWatch Canada recognise the significance of the settlement of a legal case alleging that African Barrick Gold (now Acacia Mining) was liable for human rights abuses, including killings, at its North Mara mine in Tanzania. However, the NGOs are concerned that many victims were denied justice because they participated in the mine's flawed remedy programme and were excluded from the legal action. Moreover, wider questions about human rights abuses at the mine remain unanswered.

A second human rights field assessment at Barrick Gold’s Tanzania subsidiary, Acacia Mining (formerly African Barrick Gold), calls into question commitments made by the company to stop excessive use of force by mine security and police guarding the mine. Interviews conducted by MiningWatch Canada and the British NGO Rights and Accountability in Development (RAID) also confirmed that the grievance mechanism at the North Mara Gold Mine Ltd. was used strategically to divert victims from taking legal action. These victims are now facing broken promises by the company and inadequate remedy to deal with the serious long-term harm they have endured.
