IAMB noted that the unredacted Defense Contract Audit Agency reports covering sole sourced contracts had been made public.

In the case of large scale projects, some host countries are raising questions about the contracts that define their relationship with TNC s, and governments are reviewing such contracts because they believe (rightly or wrongly) that they did not get a fair deal.

Contracts are being respected only in the breach, and technicians and lawyers from PDVESA, the Venezuelan oil giant, are auditing Petrobras installations in Bolivia.

We have also insisted on reviewing the legality of mining contracts signed by Guinea s previous undemocratic and military regimes, and we have published all of these contracts online for the world to see.
