Stakeholder organizations are urging the CDM Executive Board to intervene in the Barro Blanco Hydroelectric Power Plant Project in Panama due to ongoing human rights concerns, including threats of forced eviction of Ngäbe indigenous communities and failure to obtain free, prior and informed consent. The authors highlight that the project developer, GENISA, was fined $775,200 by Panama's Environment Ministry for non-compliance with its environmental impact assessment, including failures to relocate and compensate affected people. The stakeholders request that the Board notify UN human rights bodies, inquire with Panamanian authorities, and consider withdrawing the project's registration if it violates CDM procedures.

A coalition of NGOs requests that UN Special Rapporteur James Anaya intervene in the Barro Blanco hydroelectric project in Panama to protect the Ngäbe people from imminent threats to their territories and physical security. The document argues that the project, expected to be completed by May 2014, will flood indigenous lands and cultural sites, and was approved despite failures in environmental impact assessments and stakeholder consultation. It further highlights reports of police violence against protestors and the Panamanian government's failure to fulfill a March 2012 agreement regarding an expert assessment of the project's controversies.

A coalition of environmental and human rights organizations is challenging the registration of the Barro Blanco Hydroelectric Project (PA #3237) in Western Panama. The groups argue that the project's additionality is questionable and raise serious concerns regarding the lack of public consultation, the potential misuse of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) for community compensation, and human rights abuses by GENISA against the Ngobe indigenous peoples.

The document provides legal arguments to support a lawsuit against the Panamanian National Environmental Authority (ANAM) regarding the Barro Blanco Hydroelectric Project. It contends that the project's EIA was approved without adequate consultation or the free, prior, and informed consent of the Ngäbe people, violating international human rights and environmental law. The brief highlights specific failures, including a single public forum conducted only in Spanish and the omission of critical data regarding indigenous territories adjacent to the Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca.
