Programming for Rights-Holders and Duty-Bearers Sample Clauses

Programming for Rights-Holders and Duty-Bearers. State action pursuant to World Bank development agreements has provided numerous programmatic details to protect the human rights in the suggested 2007 Agreement policy amendment.112 Moreover, the shortcomings of prior attempts can provide valuable information.113 For example, an oil spill in Cameroon highlighted the need for meas- ures targeting duty-bearers, in order to prevent environmental damage from infringing on adequate living conditions.114 DRC and Uganda can take these proactive steps by providing for management training to prepare local authorities to effectively deal with oil leaks and spills.115 Funding the construction of local fire departments and emergency first aid centers could minimize the degree of damage.116 Preventive meas- ures can also be adopted in relation to rights-holders, such as the dis- semination of emergency information to the public and creation of a hotline or reporting center to ensure that locals have the means to promptly report environmental hazards.117 A multi-faceted emergency plan can thus ensure that accidents are contained and do not erode local living conditions.118 108 See Bujal Charter, supra note 38, arts. 14, 21; ICESCR, supra note 7, arts. 6 §§ 1–2, 11 109 OHCHR, supra note 10, at 28. 110 See X’Xxxxx, supra note 6, at 97–117; Inter-Am.

Monitoring has been perhaps the most successful tool for address- ing the effects of development on the right to a livelihood and the right to property, and it can be employed by both duty-bearers and rights- holders.119 Monitoring by rights-holders was implemented in pipeline projects in South America and Africa through the creation of commu- nity-based groups.120 By establishing local organizations, DRC and Uganda can create a direct information network between the Lake Al- bert population and duty-bearers.121 Rights-holders can thus provide information on the day-to-day effects of oil development, and suggest reforms to address new needs.122 DRC and Uganda, as duty-bearers, should also employ top-down monitoring by conducting frequent social impact assessments to gauge the effects of development on livelihoods and land claims.123 The avail- ability and quality of current resources, such as fish, which a...
