Resumo
This article is the result of an interdisciplinary research project “Legal, Economic and Social Policies for the Sustainable Development in Colombia” of the research group Grupo Interdisciplinario en Desarrollo y Derecho “Interdisciplinary Group in Development and Law” implemented at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Law School. As a sub-project of the above mentioned research project the limitations of Corporate Social Responsibility were studied through a field research implemented at the Mining Project Cerrejón of the
Department La Guajira in Colombia. Cerrejón is the largest open air coal mine in the world. The Mining Project has been developing since 26 years. During this period the indigenous community wayüu has been facing the challenges to share their original habitat with the Mining Project. This relationship between indigenous wayüu community, the Mining Project Cerrejón and the Departmental
Government of La Guajira presented contradictions and has resulted in cooperation as well as fights and misunderstandings between the various actors. The social project PAICI implemented by the Mining Project Cerrejón is one of the outstanding examples of the community related aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility and not only in the mining sector. On the other hand, this project benefits only around 20% of the indigenous wayüu in the Department La Guajira , wayüus who in substantial numbers have lost their land, some of them without proper resettlement and compensation as a result of the expansion of the Mining Project. There are several questions to raise: how to match different interests such as development of a mining project, social-cultural-economic development of an indigenous group with the priorities and responsibilities of public policy making. In this article the theory of sustainable governance is proposed to analyze these questions with the firm conviction that development should find its compromises for the benefit of all actors through the functioning of an advanced system of public policies to manage conflicting interests.
