Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is practiced in at least 70 countries globally. It is a complex global development issue, often resulting in difficult social circumstances and environmental destruction. ASGM is the largest demand sector for mercury globally, and there is increased global attention on the issue because of the current negotiation of a global mercury treaty. This research will investigate the legal status of ASGM globally, including the legal status of mercury use.
