Abstract

This study examines human rights violations associated with resource extraction projects in Eswatini. A survey research approach was employed, gathering data from stakeholders including government officials, community leaders, and affected individuals. Findings indicate that 75% of respondents reported instances of forced labour and inadequate compensation for environmental damage. The prevalence of human rights violations highlights the need for stringent oversight mechanisms in resource extraction projects to ensure compliance with international standards. Stakeholders should advocate for more transparent contracts, community consultations, and enforcement of existing legal frameworks.
