Vancouver-based Pacific Rim, for example, is using a trade tribunal to challenge the Salvadoran government for failing to issue a permit for a cyanide leaching gold mine.

The suspension was lifted last year, after much pressure from the Guatemalan government without the actual concerns ever truly being addressed.
