We thank the Indigenous People and Leaders of the Naviti Levu bay, Ra, Fiji,and especially to the Tui Naviti Levu for their Solidarity , Unity ,Courage and Wisdom to SAYING NO TO MINING of their Precious Paradise for BLACK SAND and other Minerals.

OUR CALL TO OUR LEADERS AND GOVERNMENT YEAR 2024.
NO CASINO PLEASE.

"FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL."

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN GENEVA IN THE BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS FORUM.

RESPECT, PROTECT AND REMEDY.

1. THE COMPANIES ARE OBLIGED TO "RESPECT" THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE WHEN DOING BUSINESS ON THEIR LANDS AND ENVIRONMENT.

2. THE STATE IS MANDATED TO "PROTECT" THE RIGHTS OF ALL PEOPLE WHEN BUSINESSES ARE CARRIED OUT ON THEIR LAND AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

3. THERE SHOULD BE AVENUES AND MECHANISM FOR "REMEDIES" FOR DAMAGES DONE TO PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT BY BUSINESSES THAT HAVE CARRIED OUT THEIR OPERATIONS IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA.

THESE MECHANISM ARE ALREADY IN PLACE WITHIN THE UN SYSTEM AND GOVERNMENTS KNOW ALL THESE BUT WE AT THE NGOS, CSOS, COMMUNITIES, INDIVIDUALS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENDERS ARE BEST SUITED TO ACTIVE THESE UN GUIDING PRINCIPLES WHEN OUR DIGNITY AND RIGHTS ARE DISRESPECTED.
