Recommendations- Impact of oil industry on human
•In exercising its oversight of Shell's divestment, the Nigerian government
rights
must:
• Protect and respect the human rights of its citizens, including their right to
an adequate standard of living, water, health, and the right to access to
effective remedy for people whose human rights have been infringed.
• Ensure that Shell's divestment does not limit Shell's liabilities without a full
investigation into and remediation of all existing pollution, the maintenance
and repair of existing pipelines, and the protection of pipelines from
sabotage.
• Require that any purchaser be adequately capitalized to meet these
requirements and given the uncertainty of the cost, consider requiring Shell
to remain as guarantor should funding be insufficient.
• Ensure that all relevant stakeholders, most importantly the affected
communities, be engaged in the process and that their concerns are solicited
and incorporated into the final decision.
