The aim of this book has been to chart and to describe the relationship between transnational public-private partnerships (PPPs) and human rights. An understanding of the human rights implications of these PPPs emerges through an exploration of the concrete practices – human rights risk strategies – of human rights advocates, their allies, and their opponents. Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), community groups, insurgents, terrorists, project planners, and others target these PPPs to achieve social change. Some aim to promote human rights, whereas others actively undermine them. At times, strategies are replicated across country, sector, and project. For example, local populations are incorporated into transnational projects as workers in Africa and in Latin America, in water projects and in natural gas pipelines, in Iraqi reconstruction, and in the Camisea project in Peru. At other times, strategies appear as apples and oranges. Can terrorists bombing buildings really be equated with indigenous communities peacefully negotiating with project planners? Governments and compound companies may at times have stronger human rights credentials than those opposing PPP projects. This conclusion makes the case for the establishment of an institution under the auspices of the United Nations (UN) to handle human rights issues arising in the context of PPPs – a Human Rights Unit (HRU). Presently, human rights are not handled in a uniform way by diverse projects. Regardless of the merits of discrete strategies of social change, a need exists for an institution that is able to think systematically about how varied projects should handle human rights.
