| Title | GOLD MINING SECTOR OF THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC: THE CASE OF DE FACTO VIOLATION OF THE RIGHT TO HEALTH |
| Summary | This paper focuses on two different issues: the right to health and the Kyrgyz mining industry, with special attention to gold mining sector. The main goals of this paper are (1) to identify and examine existing level of intersection between these two large areas; (2) how this intersection is addressed and regulated at international and domestic levels; as well as (3) to explore the extent to which Kyrgyzstan is meeting its legal obligations to respect, protect and fulfil the right to health. In order to address the questions raised, this paper employs a comparative method on the subject, i.e. evaluates internationally recognized standards of protection of the right to health and Kyrgyzstan’s principal environmental, health and safety laws that apply to mining activities. The core idea that this paper raises is that the passive adoption of laws and regulations that comply with international human rights standards does not demonstrate state’s strong adherence to human rights. In other words, Kyrgyzstan’s failure to enforce national mining and environmental laws that properly address health rights amounts to gross violation of basic human rights. |
