Mission Statement

The ATA’s mission is to serve as a fair, trusted, and effective human rights activist to ensure that the allegations of negative human rights impacts caused by Barrick – PJV and its allies are evaluated in a transparent, accountable and reliable manner and where merit, ensure that the PJV OGM provides remedies that are rights-compatible, culturally appropriate and in satisfactory manner. Most importantly, ATA intends to become party to the existing Barrick’s OGM to ensure that the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights are implemented without flaws and omissions.
