 Ms. Lawler is the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders. Her job is to raise concerns with governments and companies when activists are at risk. And she is sounding the alarm over Canadian mining companies' treatment of those who oppose their projects and the Canadian government's inability to hold them to account. She was recently in Toronto meeting with government officials, industry representatives and rights groups, which was first reported by the Globe and Mail. We reached Mary Lawler today in Dublin.
