2012 People’s International Health Tribunal Hearing on Goldcorp’s mining operations in Central America [Honduras]

In July 2012 the People’s International Health Tribunal held a hearing regarding Goldcorp’s mining operations in Carrizalillo, Guerrero, México; Valle de Siria [Siria Valley], Francisco Morazán, Honduras; and San Miguel Ixtahuacán and Sipacapa, San Marcos, Guatemala. Testimony was heard from health, environmental, and human rights experts, and members of communities directly affected by the mining operations. The Tribunal “delivered a guilty verdict to Goldcorp, the host countries of Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico, as well as the Canadian Government for supporting and promoting in various ways the irresponsible mining investments in Mesoamerica” (Health Tribunal, 2012).
