Document Summary
Bisha mine: copper mine in north-east africa, eritrea owned by nevsun, a canadian mining company, 3 workers filed a lawsuit for torture, forced labour, slavery, crimes against humanity, etc. And the company responded saying they always complied with standards of governance: they hired a third-party contractor to hire employees in eritrea. June 2015: un released a report on human rights violations: eritreans are the second largest group of migrants crossing the mediterranean, after syrians. "ethics is relative to doing what is necessary to fulfill a particular role" "he who neglects what is done for what ought to be done, sooner effects his ruin than his preservation. Imagine you are an officer and there is a bomb in huron and you captured the leader of the group. Assume that the leader knows the exact location of the bomb and that torture will guarantee the answer to come from him.
