摘要

这篇文章分析了最近Makhanda高等法院在支持野生海岸NPC诉矿产资源和能源部长一案中的判决，驳回了授予壳牌和影响非洲勘探权的决定。壳牌和Impact Africa打算在南非野生海岸进行一次地震调查。这样一项调查将对居住在沿海地区的几个当地社区的权利和利益产生重大影响。由于壳牌、Impact Africa和矿产资源和能源部局长没有考虑到这些权益，法院决定推翻授予这些公司勘探权的决定。为此，该判决有力地证明了地方社区的权利，说明了当监管计划被有目的地实施而不是仅仅作为一种打勾的练习时，可能会发生什么。

Defending the Rights of Local Communities against Box-Ticking Exercises: An Analysis of Sustaining the Wild Coast NPC v Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy

This piece analyses the recent judgment from the Makhanda High Court in Sustaining the Wild Coast NPC v Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy setting aside the decision to grant Shell and Impact Africa an exploratory right. Shell and Impact Africa intended to conduct a seismic survey along South Africa’s Wild Coast. Such a survey stood to have a substantial impact on the rights and interests of several local communities residing along the coastline. Because Shell, Impact Africa and the Director-General of the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy failed to consider these rights and interests, the court decided to overturn the decision granting the companies their exploratory right. To this end, the judgment provides a powerful vindication of the rights of local communities, illustrating what is possible when regulatory schemes are applied purposively and not as a mere box-ticking exercise.

期刊介绍： The Business and Human Rights Journal (BHRJ) provides an authoritative platform for scholarly debate on all issues concerning the intersection of business and human rights in an open, critical and interdisciplinary manner. It seeks to advance the academic discussion on business and human rights as well as promote concern for human rights in business practice. BHRJ strives for the broadest possible scope, authorship and readership. Its scope encompasses interface of any type of business enterprise with human rights, environmental rights, labour rights and the collective rights of vulnerable groups. The Editors welcome theoretical, empirical and policy / reform-oriented perspectives and encourage submissions from academics and practitioners in all global regions and all relevant disciplines. A dialogue beyond academia is fostered as peer-reviewed articles are published alongside shorter ‘Developments in the Field’ items that include policy, legal and regulatory developments, as well as case studies and insight pieces.
