Environmental Crimes, an Argentinian perspective - Workshop
March 07, 2011
WORKSHOP: Addressing environmental crimes, an Argentinian perspective with Argentinian Federal Attorney Antonio Gómez
Drawing from years of experience and the specific example of the Bajo de la Alumbrera mine in Catamarca, Argentina, Mr. Antonio Gómez will explore the characteristics of environmental crime and proposals to address them at the international level. Bajo de la Alumbrera is owned by Xstrata in joint venture with Canada's Yamana Gold and Goldcorp.
Workshop will cover:
- policy framework in which environmental crimes are understood in
Latin America
- identifying an environmental crime
- how to register a complaint about an environmental crime
- how to provide proof of an environmental crime
- the need for an International Tribunal to address environmental crimes and current proposals
