Peru Implements Law To Calm Mining, Oil Disputes

The regulations of the law, published in Peru's official gazette, require companies and communities to sit down and negotiate in detail over natural resource extraction projects and how they will affect the environment and water supplies.
The law brings Peru into compliance with the U.N.'s Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, which the country ratified in 1994. Indigenous rights groups have pressured the government for years to approve the law.
