Illicit gold mining and trafficking continues to pose a major challenge to the region’s security and stability, all while financially benefiting the criminal Maduro narco-regime in Venezuela, illicit actors, destroying ecosystems, and causing human rights abuses across the region.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ) reintroduced the United States Legal Gold and Mining Partnership Strategy Act to prevent illicit gold mining in multiple developing countries in the region.
The bill would require the President to establish a strategy to break linkages between artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) and illicit actors; block illicit actors’ financing; discourage ASM mining in environmentally protected areas; aid ASM miners to formalize their business activities; increase capacity; and use environmentally sustainable practices, and support socioeconomic development programs, law enforcement capacity-building, and international initiatives.

La minería y el tráfico ilícito de oro continúa siendo un gran desafío para la seguridad y la estabilidad de la región, al mismo tiempo que beneficia financieramente al narco-régimen criminal de Maduro en Venezuela y a otros actores ilícitos. Todo mientras destruye ecosistemas y causa abusos de DDHH en toda la región.
Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Bob Menendez (D-NJ) introdujeron una vez más, una legislación para prevenir la minería de oro ilegal en la región.
La legislación requeriría que el presidente de EE.UU. establezca una estrategia para romper los vínculos entre la minería artesanal y la de pequeña escala (ASM, por sus siglas en inglés) al igual que busca bloquear el financiamiento de actores ilícitos; desalentar la minería ASM en áreas ambientalmente protegidas; ayudar a los mineros de ASM a formalizar sus actividades comerciales; aumentar la capacidad; y utilizar prácticas ambientalmente sostenibles, y apoyar los programas de desarrollo socio-económico, la creación de capacidad para hacer cumplir la ley y las iniciativas internacionales.
