Abstract

The Justice and Corporate Accountability Project has filed a number of complaints to the Ontario Securities Commission, the British Columbia Securities Commission and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the failure of Canadian mining companies to disclose information on community conflict, violence and Indigenous consent. We have also studied violence associated with 28 Canadian mining companies in Latin America and recorded company disclosure of violence.
