During the last decades, formal mining in Peru has been affected by increasingly recurrent conflicts with the communities and populations in its area of influence. This is despite having complied with the requirements of the legal framework for mining and water resources. This situation occurs not only because the communities and populations hinder mining activities for fear of suffering water restrictions and possible environmental contamination that could harm their main economic activities, their health and their lives; but also because, additionally, they confuse the role of mining companies with that of the State, demanding that the latter implement infrastructure and basic services that the State does not provide, to the point of conditioning the start and normal development of mining operations on compliance with these demands. This situation ends up generating conflict and legal uncertainty for mining investors. In this sense, it can be concluded that the regulations that establish the requirements to obtain the necessary titles to operate in the mining sector and the legal framework on water issues in general, by themselves, are not suitable to mitigate the conflicts that arise from the concerns of the communities. To this end, the active participation of the State is relevant throughout the process, which implies not only appearing in the presence of conflicts, but also providing support from the beginning in the implementation of basic services, as well as in the supervision and control of mining activities to establish a horizontal dialogue between the actors involved.
