  • JDI Brazil and Tanzania Report Fall 2019
    1 2 Executive Summary This report presents the research findings of the fifth team of graduate students from the School of International Service at American University in fulfillment of their capstone requirement. In accordance with the statement of work, this report analyzes the impact on human security of amethyst and citrine in Brazil and tanzanite in Tanzania. The research team identified the human security risks per five United Nations (UN) Human Security Indicators: governance, economy, environment, health, and human rights. There is not a universal tool that analyzes the global jewelry industries’ impact on a host country. The jewelry industry can benefit host counties and local communities by creating jobs, increasing local revenue, and providing social services. However, these industries also can harm countries as mining can irreparably damage the local environment, cause chronic health problems for miners and residents of mining communities, and potentially present challenges to human rights. The Jewelry Development Impact Index (JDII) is a research project by American University Graduate Students in coordination with the U.S. Department of State, Office of Threat Finance Countermeasures, and the University of Delaware, Minerals, Materials, and Society Program. This report, in combination with the four previous reports, contributes to a uniform measurement tool to assess the impact of the jewelry industry on local human security and development. The research team used academic journals, business sector and NGO reports, news articles, and interviews with key stakeholders to score each country on a seven-point Likert. On this scale, a higher score (on a scale of one to seven) indicates that the industry does not present a significant human security risk.

Phone : +255 262329006 Fax : +255 262329007 NATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE STOCKHOLM ii CONVENTION ON PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (POPS) PREFACE Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) present unique challenge as they persist in the environment, exhibit long-range transport properties, bioaccumulate in fat tissues of living organisms and pose risks to human health and the environment. In view of the global nature of the challenges posed by POPs, the Stockholm Convention on POPs was adopted at a Conference of Plenipotentiaries on 22 May, 2001 in Stockholm, Sweden. It entered into force in May, 2004 and Tanzania ratified it on 30 April, 2004. The objective of the Convention is to protect human health and the environment from adverse effects of persistent organic pollutants. The initial list of chemicals controlled under the Convention included 12 chemicals which were popularly referred to as the ‘dirty dozen’. However, during meetings of the Conference of the Parties in 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015, additional 14 new chemicals were included in the list, making a total of 26 controlled chemicals as of now.
