	Mining IMPACTS Human Rights - As more developed countries have put into place environmental and workplace regulations to protect their citizens and natural habitat, domestic mineral and resource extraction has become more costly. Furthermore, most industrialized and developed countries have already exhausted much if not the majority of their mineral and resource wealth. Consequently, bigger profits are usually easier to come by through the exploitation of more plentiful resources in less developed, usually poorer nations where labor is cheaper and there are fewer regulations governing corporate practices. In some of these countries, profits from mining are used by governments to buy weapons and to wage war. Corporations with operations in nations controlled by oppressive regimes assist in providing the hard currency that allows those regimes to maintain power and to continue oppression of its populations. In many of these less developed nations, mining and other resource extraction is conducted on lands of indigenous natives whose livelihoods are disrupted and endangered by the operations. Toxic pollution from the operations poisons their soil and water, kills off their game animals and livestock, and brings illness and death to their families. Attempts to protect lands and villages from degradation are frequently met with violence, terror and assassinations by security forces hired to protect operations. Communities and their leaders are bribed and corrupted, leading to divisions and infighting. Often missionaries are brought in as a means of quieting opposition to mining and drilling operations.           CAMPAIGNS    Dirty Diamonds    Cell phones vs. Gorillas    The Infamous Rio Tinto    Bushmen Lands Dispute                 LINKS         Project Underground   www.moles.org/Project Underground       Mining Watch   www.mpi.org.org.au       Friends of the Earth   www.foei.org/campaigns/Mining       Rights Action   www.rightsaction.org       Sierra Club   www.sierraclub.org/human-rights       Oxfam America   www.oxfamamaerica.org/change/globalissues.html       Business & Human Rights   www.business-humanrights.org/       IGC   www.igc.org/mining             MAJOR  CORPORATE  PLAYERS            RELATED  ISSUES  Metals    Diamonds    Gold    Uranium    Coltan    Cell phones    Oil Drilling
