“Monica Feria-Tinta secures UN intervention in COVID-19 mining dispute” – September 28 2020

Monica Feria-Tinta has secured an intervention by the United Nations in the case of the Cerrejón mine, brought by indigenous Wayuu people before the UN Special Procedures seeking the halting of operations near Wayuu settlements in the context of COVID-19. The mining company, Cerrejón, is independently operated and belongs in equal parts to subsidiaries of the international mining companies BHP, Anglo American and Glencore.

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on environment and human rights, David Boyd, released today a public statement calling for the halting of mining operations by Cerrejón mine, near Wayuu settlements located next to the mine.
