5 | CC BY 2.0 Brazil's infamous “dirty list of slave labour” identifies companies that have been caught exploiting employees with practices akin to slavery. | Manome ny lisitr'ireo orinasa izay tratra manararaora mpiasa amin'ny fomba fanao mitovy amin'ny fanandevozana ilay lisitra malaza ratsy ao Brezila “lisitra maloton'ny andevon'ny asa”. |
6 | Established in 2003 by the Brazilian Ministry of Work and Employment, the list has featured companies owned by famous Brazilian businessmen and politicians on many occasions. | Nataon'ny Ministeran'ny Asa sy ny Fampanànana Asa tamin'ny 2003, imbetsaka no efa nasongadin'ilay lisitra ny orinasan'ireo Breziliana malaza mpandraharaha sy mpanao politika. |
7 | In addition to the official list published by the Ministry, Reporter Brasil, the country's leading NGO defending and reporting on labor rights, regularly reports on and highlights companies on the so-called dirty list. | Fanampin'ilay lisitra ofisialy avy amin'ny Ministera, mitatitra tsy tapaka koa ny Reporter Brasil, ilay ONG sangany ao amin'ny firenena amin'ny fiarovana sy fitaterana momba ny zon'ny mpiasa, ary manasongadina ireo orinasa hita ao anatin'ilay antsoina hoe lisitra maloto. |
8 | But recent court rulings could change these efforts towards transparency. | Fa nisy didim-pitsràna vao haingana mety hanova ireny ezaka ireny ho amin'ny mangarahara. |
9 | In December 2014, Brazil's supreme court issued a ruling that prohibited the Ministry of Work and Employment from publishing the list on its website or sharing it with local media. | Ny Desambra 2014, namoaka didy ny fitsarana antampony ao Brezila nandràra ny Ministeran'ny Asa sy ny Fampanànana Asa tsy hamoaka ilay lisitra ao anatin'ny tranonkalany na hizara izany amin'ireo media ao an-toerana. |
10 | This ruling came in response to a case brought by the Brazilian Association of Real Estate Development Companies (ABRAINC), in which it claimed Brazil lacks a law to regulate the maintenance of such a list, and that employers were being included without a proper legal process, undermining the presumption of innocence and their right to legally contest such allegations. | Ity didy ity dia navoaka ho setrin'ny raharaha iray nentin'ny Fikambanan'ireo Breziliana Tomponà orinasam-pampandrosoana (ABRAINC) teny amin'ny fitsaràna, izay nilazàny ny tsy fampian'ny lalàna ao Brezila hifehezana ny karazana lisitra tahàka izany, ary hoe tafiditra aminà raharaha tsy nanaraka dingana araka ny lalàna ireo mpampiasa, manohintohina ny tsy mbola filazàna ny olona iray ho efa meloka sy ny zon'izy ireo handà ny filazàna tahaka izany araka ny lalàna. |
11 | The Supreme Court decided to suspend publication of the list until the ABRAINC case is decided. | Nandray fanapahana ny Fitsaràna Antampony hampiato ilay famoahana lisitra, mandra-pahavitan'ny raharaham-pitsaràna mahakasika ny ABRAINC. |
12 | ABRAINC comprises Brazil's largest contractors and holdings, and its own president Rubens Menin has been found using forced labour on five occasions in enterprises owned by his company MRV Engenharia, which has been featured on the dirty list. | Ahitàna ireo mpandraharaha sy vondron'orinasa goavana indrindra ao Brezila ny ABRAINC, ary ny filohan'izy io dia efa in-dimy no tratra nampiasa ny fomba fampanaovna asa an-terivozona tao anivon'ireo orinasany MRV Engenharia, izay voasongadina tao anatin'ilay lisitra maloto. |
13 | Months after the Supreme Court Ruling, the Ministry of Work and Labor created a new list, backed by the Brazilian Access to Information Law, with the same content. | Volana maro taorian'ilay didin'ny Fitsaràna Antampony, namoaka lisitra iray vaovao indray ny Ministeran'ny Asa sy ny Fampoanànana Asa, notohanan'ilay Lalàna momba ny Fahazoan'ny Breziliana Hahazo Vaovao, lisitra mitovy votoaty tamin'ilay taloha ihany. |
14 | On October 19, Brazil's Attorney General Rodrigo Janot issued an official report in favor of its publication by the media. | Ny 19 Oktobra, namoaka tatitra ofisialy manohana ny famoahana ilay lisitra tao amin'ny media ny Lehiben'ny Fampanoavana ao Brezila, Rodrigo Janot. |
15 | Whether or not this list will last remains to be seen, but its opponents have persisted in trying to keep it out of the public eye. | Na haharitra na tsia no hahafahana mahita ity lisitra ity, mifofotra miezaka manao izy tsy hahitàn'ny mason'ny olona azy io ireo tsy mpankasitraka azy. |
16 | In October 2015, a new judicial ruling required Reporter Brasil to delete all information on its website concerning Morro Verde Participações, one of the companies listed on the most recent version of the dirty list. | Ny Oktobra 2015, nisy didy iray vaovao nitaky tamin'ny Reporter Brasil hamafa ireo vaovao rehetra tao amin'ny tranonkalany mahakasika ny Morro Verde Participações, iray amin'ireo orinasa voalaza ao anatin'ny lisitra maloto nivoaka farany indrindra. |
17 | Prior to the forced removal of information about the company, Reporter Brasil reported that Morro Verde Participações S/A runs a cattle farm in Xinguara, in Brazil's northern state of Pará. | Talohan'ny fanerena hanaisotra ny vaovao rehetra momba ilay orinasa, nitatitra ny Reporter Brasil fa mànana vala fiompiana ao Xinguara, any amin'ny fanjakana Pará ao avaratr'i Brezila, ny Morro Verde Participações S/A. |
18 | In January 2014, authorities found and rescued 23 people working under conditions analogous to slavery on the farm. | Ny Janoary 2014, olona 23 no hita sy novonjen'ireo manampahefana ho afaka tamin'ny fomba fampiasàna miendrika fanandevozana tao amin'ilay toerana fiompiana. |
19 | Members of Reporter Brasil worry that the two events are connected. | Manahy ny amin'ny fifandraisan'ireo tranga roa ireo ny mpikambana ao amin'ny Reporter Brasil. |
20 | “[This] happened because the Brazilian government has been incapable of reinstating the registry of employers caught using slave labor,” they said in a note explaining the recent censorship. | “nitranga [io] satria tsy vitan'ny governemanta Breziliana ny mamerina mametraka ny rejisitr'ireo mpampiasa tratra mampiasa toy ny andevo,” hoy izy ireo tao anaty taratasy iray nanazavany ny sivana vao haingana niainany. |
21 | The organization believes firmly that transparency about these practices is a critical step towards greater corporate accountability. | Tena inoanan'ilay fikambanana fa dingana lehibe tsy maintsy izorana ho amin'ny fitazonana ireny orinasa ireny ho tomponandraikitra amin'ireny fomba fanao ireny ny fangaraharàna. |
22 | Argemiro de Azevedo Dutra, the judge presiding over the case, is from the District Court of Salvador, capital of the state of Bahia. | Avy ao amin'ny Fitsaràn'ny Distrikan'i Salvador, renivohitry ny fanjakana Bahia, i Argemiro de Azevedo Dutra, ilay mpitsara nitarika ny fandinihana ilay raharaha. |
23 | Morro Verde S/A is also registered in the state of Bahia. | Morro Verde S/A dia mbola voasoratra ihany koa any amin'ny fanjakàn'i Bahia. |
24 | Azevedo Dutra is also listed on the website of the State Legislative Council as a cattle farmer, among other occupations. | Azevedo Dutra koa voatanisa ao anatin'ilay lisitra ao amin'ny tranonkalan'ny Filankevitra Mpanao Lalàna ao amin'ny Fanjakàna, ho toy ny tomponà toerana fiompiana, ankoatry ny fisahanany asa hafa. |
25 | About 40% of the companies included in the latest version of the list were in the livestock business, followed by logging (25%), agriculture (16%) and construction (7%). | Manodidina ny 40% amin'ireo orinasa voalaza ao anatin'ilay lisitra nivoaka farany no misahana fandraharahàna momba ny fiompiana, arahan'ny fitrandrahana àla (25%), ny fambolena (16%) ary ny fanorenana (7%). |
26 | For more than 15 years, Reporter Brasil has been advocating for the approval of the Slave Labour bill, under which any property found to be maintained by forced labour would be expropriated by the state. | Efa ho 15 taona mahery, niezaka hatrany ny Reporter Brasil nandresy lahatra mba handaniana ny volavolan-dalàna momba ny Asa Fanandevozana, izay milaza ao anatiny fa ireo fanànana/toerana rehetra tratra mampanao asa fanandevozana dia ho alain'ny fanjakana hiverina amin'ny fanjakàna. |
27 | The law is in its late stages before final approval. | Efa eo amin'ny dingana farany ho fampandaniana azy ilay lalàna izao. |
28 | Until these recent changes, the dirty list was a reliable mechanism for society to pressure those violating workers' rights. | Hatramin'ireo fiovàna farany ireo, rafitra iray nahitàn'ny farahamonina vokatra ny nisian'ilay lisitra maloto mba hanaovana tsindry amin'ireo mpanitsakitsaka ny zon'ny mpiasa ireo. |
29 | The battle between government, civil society, companies and courts for its reinstatement is far from over. | Mmomba ny fanarenana azy io, tsy mbola ato ho ato no hifàrana ny adin'ny governemanta, ny fiarahamonim-pirenena, ireo orinasa sy ny fitsaràna. |
