Oscar Luna, El Salvador's Human Rights Ombudsman (PDDH), is warning that a gold mine in Guatemala, close to the border with El Salvador, threatens violations of human rights to water, health, and the environment. Luna issued a report on October 10, urging president Mauricio Funes to use the executive branch of the government to protect the country's natural and hydrologic resources from the impact of the mine.
The mine in question is the Cerro Blanco mine, being developed by the Canadian gold mining company Gold Corp. The mine is located in southeastern Guatemala near Lake Guija.
