Résumé : |
In June 2019, six organisations – Friends of the Earth France, Survie (France), AFIEGO, CRED, NAPE/Friends of the Earth Uganda and NAVODA (Uganda) – issued a formal notice to French transnational corporation Total, informing it that its mega oil project in Uganda and Tanzania failed to comply with the company's legal obligations to prevent human rights violations and environmental harm.A year after we initiated legal proceedings, and despite our urgent appeals to take action in order to put an end to violations and prevent them from reoccurring on an even larger scale, the situation in Uganda has deteriorated. It is more urgent than ever that measures be taken. This report, based on research undertaken in June and September 2020 in Ugandan districts affected by Total's operations, reveals that tens of thousands of people have now been affected. They have lost their livelihoods and have still not received any compensation whatsoever. Unfortunately, the numerous accounts given by local residents all paint a consistently grim picture of the gravity of violations taking place. |
