The energy A produces is used to produce power for the capital city of Canada. There are allegations that A is not conforming to the international safety standards (Note that you need not research these as their content is not relevant in human rights terms for this question). In particular, an environmental NGO report has indicated that radiation exposure for employees exceed the international standards. Canada commissions its own report which reaches similar conclusions and suggests that Canadian employees are particularly exposed to radiation, nationals of other countries are employed in positions with minimal, if any, exposure. Nevertheless, R continues to permit A to operate in the nuclear power station and employ Canadian citizens. In response to questions from the Human Rights Committee, Canada states that it is investigating alternative sources of energy and alternative companies who could operate the nuclear power station in accordance with safety standard.
