TotalFinaElf, Premier Oil deny Burma human rights abuse accusations
LONDON (AFX) - TotalFinaElf and Premier Oil PLC denied they are involved in human rights abuses
after testimony before the European Parliament yesterday which accused them of complicity in and
direct knowledge of "egregious human rights abuses for the benefit of western oil companies."
The testimony from Earth Rights International (ERI) accused the companies of employing soldiers who
subject local peasants to forced labour, extortion and beatings, according to the Guardian newspaper.
Premier Oil corporate social responsibility consultant Richard Jones said it "takes seriously" reports
such as ERI's but is convinced measures it has taken have ensured its human rights standards are met
in the region.
A TotalFinaElf spokesman reiterated that it is "unimaginable" that the company would have recourse to
forced labour.
"Our workforce in Burma is exclusively adult, voluntary and its remuneration is equivalent to the
standards that we apply everywhere," he said. "All these rules have been respected in Burma the same as
everywhere else."
Premier Oil's Jones however said his company has "accepted there is enough of a concern," noting the
company's training and monitoring programme implemented over the last year.
Jones said he could not rule out that the soldiers -- who he stressed are employed by the government but
do provide security for Premier Oil facilities -- have been guilty of such abuses.
However, he said that for the past year Premier Oil has been training these soldiers to meet the
company's "aspirations" for human rights.
And for the last six months a monitoring programme has been in place which has shown these
aspirations are being met, he said.
According to the Guardian though, ERI backed up its allegations with a report containing hundreds of
witness statements taken in Burma as recently as last month which, it said, proved that the situation was
as bad as ever.
