Purpose:The Company had recently supported an initiative in Guinea, led by the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative, on supporting community rights, including key rights to information, participation, and involuntary resettlement in accordance with international norms. The government involved, the Republic of Guinea, is one whose representatives had participated in international meetings of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, and whose government is implementing the Responsible Mineral Development Initiative process. Displacement has been studied entirely in relation to programs aimed at reducing the opportunity to commit crime in specific geographical areas. Design/methodology/approach: A large number of documentary sources were reviewed ahead of thefield mission in Kintinian, including press articles covering the investments of AngloGold in Guinea and the involuntary resettlement of the Kintinian communities, a baseline study on artisanal gold mining in the Prefecture, a socio-economic baseline study about the village of Kintinian, AngloGold’s RAP for its mining project, several individual resettlement and compensation agreements, certain documents reflecting AngloGold’s internal policies and standards on Human Rights and on the resettlement of affected communities Findings:Physical violence and intimidation; contested legality of signed resettlement agreements; lack of legally required information and consultation; paltry compensation; inadequate measures to restore communities’ livelihoods; and Serious barriers to access to remedy. Originality/value: The beginnings of the investigation, CECIDE and MDT have been in contact with government entities, SAG and AngloGold. CECIDE met with the deputy CEO of SOGUIPAMI and the legal advisor of the Ministry of Mines and Geology in December 2015 to discuss the situation at “Area One”. These individuals facilitated the first field mission that took place in May 2015 in Kintinian, involving CECIDE, MDT and SAG.
