A coalition of Indigenous Mayan communities and organizations filed a Constitutional Petition with the government of Guatemala, calling for an immediate suspension of all gold mining operations on traditional Mayan lands, citing the International Labour Organization's Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples, which Guatemala has ratified.
