Intervention in the writ against the Ministry of Transport and others for the violation of the fundamental right to prior consultation and territorial rights of the Embera Katío and Embera Dobida indegenous communities of Chidima Toló and Pescadito. Abril 06 of 2010


Defendant: Ministerio de Transporte y otros


There are currently three projects that pose a serious threat to the fundamental rights to prior consultation, participation, and land and and cultural integrity of the Embera - Katío and Embera -Dobida living Chidima Toló and Pescadito in Chocó. The road construction between Acandí and Unguía, the electrical interconnection project of Eléctrica S.A. firm, and the mining prospecting activities of the Gold Plata company are three projects which, despite its incipient state, have already begun to affect the community which so far have not been taken into account. In this amicus, Dejusticia provides support for the rights of these communities and supports the writ of protection promoted by the Colombian Commission of Jurists in order to suspend such projects until completion of the respective consultations aimed to obtain the free, prior and informed consent of the indigenous peoples concerned.
