据称,两名在坦桑尼亚某金矿被安全部队杀害的独立淘金者的家属,决定将诉求直接传达给全球市场,起诉总部位于伦敦的认证机构——该机构曾认定该矿区的黄金为符合道德标准生产的产品。
Families of two independent gold prospectors allegedly killed by security forces at a Tanzanian mine are taking their grievances directly to global markets, suing the London-based authority that certified metal from the deposit as ethically produced.
如果诉讼成功,这一诉讼策略——即起诉伦敦金银市场协会而非矿业公司、黄金精炼厂、坦桑尼亚当局或涉嫌杀人者——可能会引发人们对以下问题的关注:那些在暴力事件或侵犯人权行为背景下生产的黄金是否正流入市场。
If successful, the legal maneuver in the case—going after the London Bullion Market Association rather than the mining company, the gold refiner, Tanzanian authorities or the alleged killers—could generate questions about whether gold produced amid violence or human-rights violations is seeping into the marketplace.
