Railway double-tracking has locked families inside their own homes in Velsao, Goa. They now “trespass” just to step out.This is not development. This is dispossession.

Goa bench of Bombay High court issues notice on Goa Foundation plea to suspend all mining operations in the state due to regulatory failure
For over half a century, the fate of Goa’s mining industry has been entangled in a complex legal battle, stemming from the transition between Portuguese colonial rule and Indian sovereignty. Here's the story of the Goa Abolition Act 1987.

We wrote to the Director of Mines & Geology, drawing his attention that permitting the mining of dumps would amount to illegal mining, if no prior leases have been granted for the purpose. The letter was in the context of the auctions of mining dumps scheduled on 31.1.2025.

Inter-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is an important process by which losses to foreign extractors get protections that can lead to severe issues. This short report quite eye-opening.

Discounting is super important when we consider future generations. Basically, discounting treats future generations as lesser than the present generation, violating intergenerational equity.

For the @UN #SummitoftheFuture, here's an imp paper by Dr. Edith Brown Weiss, where she revisits the Planetary Trust, the origin of the discussion on intergenerational equity in international environmental law. Our legal work is based on these ideas.

A decade since the pathbreaking Goa Mining case judgment. Mining is slowly restarting. The cap & the Goa Iron Ore Permanent Fund are yet to be finally decided. The environmental damage and widespread illegality is yet to be corrected. goenchimati.org/intergenerat…
This is important. Under the Transfer of Property Act, title to the minerals moves to the extractor, provided there is (a) a valid lease, (b) the extractor "wins the ore", and (c) the sale consideration is paid to the owner. 1/3

At present, it isn't clear if royalty is a tax, or is it the sale consideration for the mineral extracted. If royalty is a tax, then what do mineral owners receive in exchange for their minerals - remember, some minerals in some places are owned privately. 2/3

Norway taxes oil profits 78% and companies still earn a fair return.
In contrast, Canada is on track to lose 77% of our natural resource wealth to private extraction. That's about $1 trillion lost that could've been invested in sovereign wealth funds to benefit Canadians.
