Call for a moratorium and public inquiry on oil and gas exploration in the Kavango regions<\/h3>\n

\"\"\"\"
\nWe, Civil Society Organisations in Namibia, together with regional and international organisations, coalitions and technical experts, are deeply concerned about oil and gas exploratory drilling activities in the Kavango Basin. Most of us have neither been consulted nor given any evidence about how the exploration activities and possible production will affect the lives and human rights of people in Kavango East and West Regions, as well as our precious environment and overall water and food security in Namibia. Too many questions are unanswered, and the irreversible risks look too high for us, and for our children\u2019s future.
\nWe are therefore respectfully calling on the Government of the Republic of Namibia to suspend all oil and gas drilling and establish an independent and impartial Public Commission of Inquiry to critically examine the current and future oil and gas exploration and extraction in the Kavango East and West regions.
\nUntil all Namibians can see credible evidence of the potential impact on their lives, their livelihoods and their inalienable rights, and can consider what are realistic and sustainable alternative strategies for developing Namibia\u2019s energy and the Kavango regions, with particular reference to climate change, the Government should impose a moratorium on those activities.<\/p>\n

The Public Commission of Inquiry must:
\n\u2022 be fully transparent, independent and impartial;
\n\u2022 be composed of experts covering relevant knowledge drawn equally from both government and civil society\/professional associations\/academia;
\n\u2022 assess the risks to the human rights of Namibians, including their right to a safe and sustainable environment;
\n\u2022 thoroughly examine safe and sustainable alternative energy strategies for Namibia; and
\n\u2022 ensure respect for the rule of law and the international obligations of Namibia.<\/p>\n

All concerned Namibians and other Interested Parties must be allowed to:
\n\u2022 submit information for consideration by the Public Commission;
\n\u2022 be consulted in their own languages through well-planned and advertised country-wide urban and rural public consultation meetings, in particular accessible to everyone in the Kavango Regions including indigenous San communities;
\n\u2022 be allowed access to information as and when it is submitted to the Commission; and
\n\u2022 comment on the draft findings of the Commission before they are finalised.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile all exploratory drilling must immediately cease, and existing licences be suspended<\/h3>\n
