Résumé documentaire — langue originale

The research investigates how companies operating in Nigeria and Ghana's resource extraction sector maintain their responsibility to protect human rights within mining areas. The international companies which operate in countries with limited institutional control use natural resources because they take advantage of governmental authority deficiencies, which results in major environmental destruction and social damage. Hence, the study examines how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) methods and existing legal structures affect their effectiveness in reducing harmful effects. The research employs doctrinal methodology together with systematic review to study both primary legal texts and secondary scholarly analysis. The research results show that companies which adopt voluntary CSR programs together with insufficient regulatory enforcement create conditions which enable ongoing breaches of regulations, which include land displacement and environmental contamination. The Petroleum Industry Act 2021 in Nigeria, together with the Minerals and Mining Act 2006 in Ghana, introduces new regulations, but these systems face institutional limitations. The study shows that companies need to establish better ways to demonstrate accountability, which requires international enforcement and community-based value systems which protect basic human rights of local populations who live in their operational areas.
