This project brought together leading scholars from Engineering, Forest Resources, International Studies and Law in a single research team, working to support affected communities who are seeking justice in the courts. Our work was conducted in partnership with the Pastoral Social de San Marcos in Guatemala, whose lawyers, social workers, and sociologists work closely with affected communities.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0project fulfilled\u00a0three interrelated objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To provide communities with the scientific data necessary to seek redress within and beyond the Guatemalan justice system for damage incurred as a result of natural resource mismanagement.<\/li>\n
  2. To help community leaders design strategies and tools that will enable their communities\u2019 participation in future discussions around resource management between government entities and businesses whose activities impact natural resources.<\/li>\n
  3. To generate specific data that will enable communities to effectively target water pollution problems now.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This\u00a0multi-pronged approach was unique in that, by placing the intellectual capital of the University of Washington at the disposal of our partners, it generated both\u00a0short- and long-term<\/b>\u00a0solutions to natural resource mismanagement and its effects on various human rights including the right to health, the right to an adequate living standard, and the right to education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
