The framework supports maintaining safety and security while ensuring respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms, and—when applicable—international humanitarian law. Built as non-prescriptive guidance through collaboration among multiple organizations, it offers four modules covering stakeholder engagement, risk assessment, and security provider approaches, serving as a reference for implementation in complex or conflict-affected

Guidance Tools 3  \nForeword  \nIn 2000, a small group of governments, companies, and non-governmental organizations co-operated to develop and launch a set of Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (“VPs”) .  \nThe VPs are designed to help extractive companies maintain the safety and security of their operations within an operating framework that ensures respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and, when applicable, for international humanitarian law. Since then, other companies, governments, and NGOs have joined the initiative, and many other companies have publicly signaled that they apply the VPs at their operational sites.  \nImplementing the VPs can be challenging, however, especially when companies are operating in areas of conflict or weak governance. VPs participants have increasingly recognized the need for more practical tools to help those responsible for implementation in the field. Implementation is especially challenging for companies looking to apply the VPs who are not part of the initiative, as they have limited opportunities to share in the exchange of experience that is an integral part of participation in the VPs. Therefore, there was widespread recognition of the need to develop Implementation Guidance Tools.  \nThe International Finance Corporation (“IFC”), the International Council on Mining and Metals (“ICMM”), and the global oil and gas industry association for environmental and social issues (“IPIECA”), who also recognized the need for such a set of tools, agreed to co-finance the project along with VPs Participants, who provide expert input. Expert guidance was also provided by the International Committee of the Red Cross (“ICRC”) . These organizations oversaw the project and commissioned a team of consultants, led by Stratos and supported by the PSA Group, to develop the IGT in close consultation with VPs Participants.  \nThe Implementation Guidance Tools are the result. They are non-prescriptive and provides a range of different tools on which companies may draw, according to their individual needs and circumstances. While VPs participants have been closely involved in the development of the tools, they have not been formally approved by them, since it is designed as guidance and is the result of co-operation between several organizations. While it has been designed with the extractives sector in mind, companies in other sectors may also find them a useful guide when operating in difficult environments.  \nThe tools serve as a helpful reference guide to any company seeking to ensure that its operations are undertaken in a manner that ensures respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.  \nGare Smith  \nVoluntary Principles Secretariat  \nDavid Angell (Canada)  \nGovernment Chair of the Voluntary Principleson Security and Human Rights, 2011-","cbCaikPcPNRNulem","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikPcPNRNulem","pdf",1155726,101,"English","# Foreword\n# Using the IGT\n## Road Map to the IGT\n## Understanding the Voluntary Principles\n# Module 1: Stakeholder Engagement\n# Module 2: Risk Assessment\n# Module 3: Public Security Providers\n# Module 4: Private Security Providers\n# Glossary\n# Acronyms\n# Annexes\n# Acknowledgements","[{\"question\":\"What are the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPs) intended to achieve?\",\"answer\":\"They help extractive companies maintain the safety and security of their operations within a framework that ensures respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and when applicable, international humanitarian law.\"},{\"question\":\"How can the Implementation Guidance Tools (IGT) be used?\",\"answer\":\"The IGT comprises four modules that can be used individually or together, either as stand-alone toolkits or as part of a combined implementation approach.\"},{\"question\":\"Why were the Implementation Guidance Tools developed?\",\"answer\":\"Implementation can be challenging in conflict or weak-governance settings, and participants recognized the need for more practical, field-oriented tools—especially for companies not formally part of the initiative.\"}]","Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights - Implementation Guidance Tools (IGT) | PDF",1789232585,35]
