CASE STUDY: KENYA’S KERIO VALLEY

ISLP is working closely with the Kerio Valley ­Community Organization, a local NGO concerned with the potential effects of oil exploration and development on their lands. After meeting with the affected communities and taking note of similar experiences in neighboring Turkana, ISLP staff pulled in a pro bono team from the Canada-based Justice and Corporate Accountability Project—lawyers with deep experience supporting marginalized com- munities facing resource development. They are, in turn, backed by an ISLP advisory team of oil and gas, CSR, and Kenyan law experts. Together, we hope to help KVCO and local residents reach an agreement with the developer that provides for compensation and community benefits during initial exploration and outlines a workable plan for continuing and active community engagement.

In Liberia, ISLP helped lawyers from the Sustainable Development Institute build the skills needed to draft and negotiate community benefit agreements for natural resource projects.

In Myanmar, our legal team is coordinating a large-scale and diverse program of assistance with local NGOs and communities around hydroelectric dams, special economic zones, mining, and regional highways.

CASE STUDY: LIBERIA BOOSTS SMALL BUSINESSES

Liberia’s Small Business Empowerment Act was passed December 22, 2014. Helping reach this milestone was Torys partner Wilfred (“Bill”) Estey. Bill worked for months with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to craft an Act that would give Liberia’s entrepreneurs and small business owners viable tools for growth. Through the Act, Liberia’s first Department of Small Business Administration was created to assist micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). A small business loan program was added, as well as investigation and enforcement provisions. And at its core: the assurance that at least 25% of all Liberia‘s public procurement contracts will be awarded to Liberian-owned MSMEs, with at least 5% of these going to women-owned MSMEs. President Ellen Sirleaf praised the Act, expecting it will “spur the growth of Liberian entre- preneurship and develop the Liberian middle class.”

Partnering with the Law Society of Zimbabwe, ISLP held an advanced course in commercial law in the copper mining belt city of Bulawayo. Its practical approach involved a mock negotiation around the acquisition of a Zimbabwe company by an international and relevant issues in copper mining and other extractive industries. The 35 participants’ evaluations were uniformly enthusiastic, including phrases such as “life-changing”, “eye-opening”, and “superb”.

For over 15 years, the Media Law Working Group led by Dick Winfield has defended journalists facing prosecution under repressive regimes and has assisted more progressive foreign governments to enact media-protective laws and policies.

Strengthening Media Freedoms

Worldwide, pressure on journalists is increasing at an alarming pace. ISLP’s response is to ramp up its support, sending seasoned media lawyers to work side-by-side with the press, NGOs, and parliamentarians to repeal overbroad state secret laws and to draft media laws that push back against the criminal- ization of dissent and restrictions on freedom of expression and information.

ISLP volunteers have been instrumental in assisting local efforts to reform the media laws of most of the nations in the former Soviet bloc and several in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. They are equipping domestic lawyers in Ukraine, , and Azerbaijan to defend journalists under threat due to their media work. They provide NGOs and journalists with expert pre- publication reviews of reports, helping them navigate the risks of defamation claims and censorship in their efforts to expose corruption and abuse.

In the case of Singaporean blogger Han Hui Hui (right), ISLP enlisted lawyers who helped craft the arguments in a landmark case to protect Singaporeans from defamation lawsuits by government entities.

Supporting Civil Society

At ISLP’s core is its support of civil society groups and their initiatives to build stronger societies, correct inequities, or craft better futures for their children.

Responding to requests from NGOs around the globe in 2014, ISLP: • with partner ActionAid Haiti, launched a training program for members of the Je nan Je, a collective of grassroots organizations who represent peasant farmers seeking comprehensive agrarian reform in Haiti. • connected barristers from Garden Court Chambers with the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights to support the case brought by a Bahraini torture survivor that quashed Bahraini Prince Nasser’s UK immunity. • provided legal expertise for a convening of civil society groups in Nouak- chott, Mauritania seeking new ways to confront issues of nationality, slavery, and land rights. • sent a neutral observer to monitor the trials in Phnom Penh of 23 persons charged in connection with protests by garment workers and published an emergency report on the trials with NGO partner Destination Justice. • helped Fondation Héritage (the Haitian chapter of Transparency Inter-
