Phosboucraa and Western Sahara resource-governance controversy
OCP’s operation of the Phosboucraa mine in Western Sahara has been challenged by campaigners and some investors because the territory is treated by the United Nations as non-self-governing. Disputes concern the legality of extraction by a foreign state-owned entity, consultation and consent, local employment claims, and the distribution of economic benefits. Some funds have divested from companies involved in purchasing or transporting the phosphate.
