"It is important to understand the significance of holding Rio Tinto responsible for its actions and the actions of the PNG government. At all times, Rio Tinto, through BCL, controlled the government's actions on Bougainville ... whenever government action was called for on Bougainville, BCL was the one that requested it". - Momis, 2001
