    You're forgetting about the S in ESIA.

    Argentine legislation recognises the right to indigenous communal property as well as the right for indigenous people to use, develop and control their lands, territories and resources.

    Moreover, Argentina has ratified the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention 169 of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and signed the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous people (UNDRIP).

    In relation to extractive activities, this states that indigenous people have the right to determine how to use their lands and resources. It also establishes that States should “obtain their free and informed consent* prior to the approval of any project affecting their lands or territories and other resources, particularly in connection with the development, utilization or exploitation of mineral, water or other resources” (UNDRIP, article 32, paragraph 2).

    *free, prior and informed consent (FPIC)

    Companies are obliged to fully disclose all the relevant information about foreseeable risk factors and their potential environmental impacts.

    "If they want to get shit done, they will get shit done."

    This raises concerns about whether companies or states have acted in good faith.
