Part II Guidance Notes Pillar I – Laws, Policies, and Institutions Introduction Pillar I establishes the basis of a modern mining legal framework for sustainable development. It covers domestic and international law, institutional settings, the generation of geological information, as well as the details of the permitting system. Pillars II to VI establish the objectives and requirements that underpin such a framework. Legal frameworks for mining activities provide a roadmap, aligned with good international practice, for government and other stakeholders to minimize the negative impacts and optimize positive contributions of the mining sector. The roadmap includes a robust set of laws, policies, regulations, guidelines, and the means by which governments should ensure their implementation from prospection and exploration to post-mining transition. The legal framework should be based on laws and policies that are consistent with the countries’ mining endowment and based on available geological information. Institutional capacity, expertise, and resources are also necessary to make informed and timely decisions regarding mine permitting, management of operations, and effective monitoring and enforcement. Objectives • To ensure that mining activities at all stages and scales are effectively regulated to minimize their potential harm to the environment and society, while maximizing their benefits for nations and communities. • To encourage governments to enhance their understanding of their mineral endowment, undertake geological data collection, and leverage their geological endowments to strategically utilize mineral resources. • To provide a template for national and subnational laws and policies related to the mining sector, aiming to align them with good international practices. • To ensure that mining legal frameworks provide a clear and transparent permitting system, aligned with good international practice. • To ensure governments and their institutions have the capacity, expertise, and resources to effectively regulate and monitor mining operations, ensuring compliance with environmental and social standards. 2 Download 0.9 Mb.
