Join student editor Jonfranco Monaco as he sits down with third-year law student Kieran Simpson to discuss Kieran’s recently published article, “International Law Application to Transboundary Pollution: Solutions to Mitigate Mining Contamination in the Elk-Kootenai River Watershed.”
Jonfranco and Kieran discuss the issue of transboundary pollution caused by Canadian mining corporations, and the legal and policy implications therein. The conversation concludes with a forward-looking word on what Kieran hopes policy makers and stakeholders take away from his research, and potential solutions to this issue moving forward.
