⚠️ NO LLEGA la reparación integral por décadas de violaciones de DDHH en contexto de esclavitud, a miles de ciudadanxs afrodescendientes abacalerxs,

Súmate y pide a la Corte Constitucional que ACTUÉ, les ESCUCHE y ordene medidas eficaces de REPARACIÓN y de NO REPETICIÓN

In line with UN Human Rights, we also call on the Canadian Embassy in Ecuador Canada in Ecuador to denounce attacks on Indigenous Peoples’ rights & stop supporting Canadian companies like Adventus Mining, Salazar Resources & Atico Mining who are advancing projects without consent

UN Human Rights Volker Türk underscored, “People directly affected by mining projects or activities must be heard, not repressed.” ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

On July 27, Volker Türk, the United Nations' High Commissioner for Human Rights, expressed his concern over the violence in Ecuador and emphasized that under international standards, Indigenous Peoples have the right to be consulted on the use of their lands

CONAIE & others are denouncing this statement as a pressure tactic on the Court. They fear pressure from the mining industry may lead the Court to cancel its suspension f Decree 754. We join their call on the Corte Constitucional to act in an independent and impartial manner

Meanwhile, Canada’s Adventus Mining is trying to advance its highly-opposed copper-gold mine in Las Naves. The company recently said that it is targeting 2024 to be fully permitted & begin mine construction – something which would effectively require Decree 754 to be reinstated

To protect constitutional rights, the Constitutional Court suspended Decree 754 in July amidst significant state violence and repression. Now, affected communities fear the Court is under pressure from mining interests and may overturn the suspension
