New publication on mining law
1.12.2008 15:15
New publication on mining law has been released, which studies the evolving mining law from the perspective of northern regions.
The publication is based on an international seminar focusing on developing mining law, organised on 25-26. September 2008, and it is published as part of the Northern Institute for Environmental and Minority Law’s (Arctic Centre) publication series (No. 34): “Reforming Mining Law in a Changing World, with Special Reference to Finland”
Contents:
Mining is an increasingly global business: the minerals markets and companies in the industry operate on a worldwide scale. This development has had a distinct impact on how the activity is regulated, with companies applying their own codes of conduct and inter-governmental organisations adopting mining standards. Any national reform of mining regulation needs to take into account not only these increasingly international standards, but – perhaps more importantly – the very rapid change that has taken place in the market place. This publication examines global and regional developments in mining regulation with a special emphasis on Finland, a pertinent case given that the country is in the process of replacing its old 1965 Mining Act. Also of particular interest are northern and Arctic developments, taken up in contributions that examine mining law as it affects indigenous peoples and analyse trends in the law in Canadian Arctic regions.
