CASO COMUNIDAD INDÍGENA CACATAIBO SOLICITUD DE MEDIDAS CAUTELARES URGENTES: SUSPENSIÓN EXPLORACIÓN DE HIDROCARBUROS

A 2007 request submitted to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights by FENACOCA, IBC, and CIEL, urging the Peruvian State to immediately suspend hydrocarbon exploration in the traditional territory of the Cacataibo indigenous people in isolation to prevent grave and irreversible harm.

• The request asks the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to seek the immediate suspension of hydrocarbon exploration by the Peruvian State, specifically citing that Petroleum del Peru S.A.C. has already begun laying explosives for seismic lines in Lote 107 following the state's approval of an environmental impact study.
• 2D Seismic Exploration is identified as a source of grave and imminent threat to the Cacataibo people in isolation due to the risk of river contamination with sewage and hazardous waste, which could spread diseases to populations lacking immunological defenses.
• The laying and detonation of explosives for 2D Seismic Exploration in proposed Cacataibo Territorial Reserves and transit zones threaten to force contact with isolated Cacataibo indigenous people, a process that historically results in damage to life, personal integrity, and the existence of the communities.
