The Papua New Guinea legislature on May 28 amended sections of the country's Environment and Conservation Act to shield corporations from any responsibility for environmental damage caused by their operations, whether intentional or accidental. The law effectively strips Indigenous land owners of any rights to protect their land and makes it illegal for anyone to sue a corporation for the consquences of their actions.
