This document was prepared for the Model Mining Legislation Project
(MMLP). The main objective from the MMLP provides contextual insight to
this legislation and policy review. The final output for year one will
be 5 individual case study reports, a synthesis report of the case
studies integrated with a regional legislative and policy review report.
The research process, reflection practice and benchmarking is dealt
with in part 2 of this document whilst Part 1 is a legal and policy
review questionnaire. The aim of this Legal and Policy review is to
firstly determine common areas and issues incorporated in legislation
and policy that play a significant role in the impact of mining on
indigenous and local communities in the region. With the common set of
criteria it will then be possible to conduct a national comparative
analysis along with analysis of the interaction between international
and national legal and institutional frameworks through which to surface
lessons that may be of use in advocacy efforts at national and regional
level.
