| Summary | On 28 September 2021, Andrew and Robert Starkey submitted a specific instance to the AusNCP alleging that an Australian based MNE had not observed the General Policies (Chapter II) or Human Rights (Chapter IV) provisions of the Guidelines. Specifically, the issues relate to the discovery of an unexploded ordinance in South Australia by the Starkey Traditional Owners, resulting in risk to personal safety and artefacts of cultural significance. The submitters are seeking mediation to find suitable remedy, including an impact assessment, temporary cessation of the company’s supply services and financial compensation. The AusNCP will now move to the initial assessment phase of procedure. |
