The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) has recently lifted a stop-work order on Golden Veroleum Liberia (GVL), a palm oil company that has been accused of extensive environmental degradation and violations of local land rights in Liberia. For over a decade, communities in Sinoe County have reported that GVL has razed significant areas of rainforest, destroyed sacred sites, and used intimidation tactics to secure land agreements. Despite a formal complaint and a previous stop-work order issued by the RSPO, the organization reversed its decision, prompting fears about the future of Liberia's forests and the rights of its communities. Critics argue that the RSPO's decision undermines its credibility and allows GVL to continue its operations without accountability. Local and international civil society groups are now calling for the RSPO to reinstate the stop-work order to protect the environment and uphold community rights.
