Muriel Mining Corp. illegally enters ancestral land

01/24/09 08:01

Wherever country you will go, there is always a problem with conflicting interests between indigenous communities and profit-oriented companies.

Same case in Colombia, where indigenous tribes constantly try to defend their land, the latest of which is the illegal entry of the transnational mining company Muriel Mining Corp.

This violates the International Labor Organization (ILO) Resolution 169, Colombian Constitution of 1991, and Colombia's Law 70 of 1993. More on this here at SocialistWorker.org

With respect to conflicting interest between indigenous communities and profit-oriented companies (governments are profit-oriented as well), don't the indigenous people want new hospitals and clinics to help individuals live past 40 years and don't they want better schools to give their youth a chance to learn more about themselves and the planet?
