Conflict Risk Network - Sudan Company Report 2010
The Conflict Risk Network produces the Sudan Company Report in order to inform its investor network about corporate actors’ exposure to conflict risk in Sudan. When companies and investors are able to understand what drives conflict and how to address it, they can not only mitigate the risks and negative impacts posed to and by their investments, but can play an important role in supporting peace and stability. The Report is a culmination of research CRN conducts on the elements driving conflict; the companies most associated with these drivers; details on their business activities, relationships, and impacts; and steps companies have taken to respect human rights and support peace and stability.
Tangible Transparency
The purpose of this paper is to provide suggestions for ways in which a new, post-referendum oil deal between north and south Sudan could be made as transparent as possible in order to ensure that the deal is stable and that any tension and mistrust between the two sides is minimised. This document outlines the suggested transparency provisions, and the attached annex contains specific suggestions for the wording of these transparency provisions. Global Witness presents this document to the Parties in the hope that the experience we have gained from researching oil and transparency issues in Sudan and other countries, and from the pivotal role we have played in shaping the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), can be of some use in fostering a new oil deal in Sudan that promotes peace and the economic viability of north and south.

ECOS calls upon the Swedish, Austrian and Malaysian governments to investigate whether, as a matter of international law, Lundin, OMV and Petronas 'were complicit in the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity by others during the period 1997-2003.’ In response, the Swedish Public Prosecutor for International crimes opened a criminal investigation into ‘links between Sweden and the reported crimes’.
