In 2006, Flaviano Bianchini and Dr. Almendarez Bonilla published two different studies about contamination in the San Martin mine in Honduras. The Supreme Court of Honduras cited the studies and announced that 13 articles of Honduras’ mining law were unconstitutional because they affected the Human Right to Health (sentence dated October 6, 2006). The Honduran parliament created a new law that was more respectful of human rights and the environment.
