    Human Rights

    Outer space as a place of endeavour for human activity is growing, as are the interactions between space technology and issues of human rights and ethics.
    In alignment with SGAC’s support for the UN Programme on Space Applications (UNPSA) and with recognition of the UN’s Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner (OHCHR), the Ethics and Human Rights project group works to identify, and put forth for discussion, space-related processes relevant to the UN’s broader human rights…

    Outer space as a place of endeavour for human activity is growing, as are the interactions between space technology and issues of human rights and ethics.
    In alignment with SGAC’s support for the UN Programme on Space Applications (UNPSA) and with recognition of the UN’s Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner (OHCHR), the Ethics and Human Rights project group works to identify, and put forth for discussion, space-related processes relevant to the UN’s broader human rights agenda.
    Our vision is to identify how space technology can best contribute to the realization of the United Nations objectives on Human Rights and the Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, the project group os a platform for empowerment and justice from the perspective of the diverse peoples who make up the modern space sector in order to help shape its development to be representative of all humanity.

  • Impact of New Mining Technologies on Local Procurement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

    International Institute for Sustainable Development

    New technologies are changing the face of mining worldwide, with fundamental implications for the number and types of jobs the mine will support, as well as for health and safety, women’s place in mining, greenhouse gas emissions, and the efficiency and viability of mining operations. IGF’s New Tech, New Deal project explored what types of technology we could expect to see, what the impacts might be, and what sorts of government policies are available to best manage the changing relationship…

    New technologies are changing the face of mining worldwide, with fundamental implications for the number and types of jobs the mine will support, as well as for health and safety, women’s place in mining, greenhouse gas emissions, and the efficiency and viability of mining operations. IGF’s New Tech, New Deal project explored what types of technology we could expect to see, what the impacts might be, and what sorts of government policies are available to best manage the changing relationship between mines and their host countries and communities.

    This case study of mining in DRC considers what new technology will mean for local procurement—a major element of mining’s contribution to local communities and host countries. It argues that the government needs to help local suppliers take advantage of the opportunities presented by new technologies and avoid the risk of lost business. The study was produced to feed into the final report of the New Tech, New Deal project.
