La realización de este megaproyecto no sólo contravendría la prohibición de actividades mineras en ecosistemas de páramo consagrada en la Ley de Páramos (1930/2018), sino que tendría graves repercusiones para el sustento y la soberanía alimentaria de las poblaciones locales y vecinas. La realización de actividades extractivas en Cajamarca supone una amenaza para la realización de derechos humanos fundamentales como el derecho a la alimentación, al agua y a un medio ambiente sano. Además, desconocería el derecho de las comunidades campesinas a una consulta significativa, afectaría gravemente a sus medios de vida y despreciaría su identidad cultural como campesinos.

Información recibida en relación con la presunta vulneración del derecho humano al agua potable en los departamentos de Montevideo y Canelones a partir de la crisis hídrica que afecta la disponibilidad y seguridad del agua para consumo y uso humano en esas zonas. Dada su intrínseca relación con la sobrevivencia humana, esta vulneración del derecho al agua potable constituiría un riesgo al derecho a la vida, a la salud, y a la alimentación de la población que vive en estas zonas. Asimismo, de acuerdo con la información recibida, el derecho al agua potable y saneamiento, a la vida y a la salud de ciertos grupos de población está en mayor riesgo porque la crisis del agua les ha afectado desproporcionadamente. La vulneración del derecho al agua potable se ve presuntamente agravada por la priorización de usos productivos y comerciales en el país, cuya actividad no se ha visto reducida pese a la alarmante situación, así como por la falta de inversión en la infraestructura acuífera del país y por una disminución de personal cualificado en la empresa de titularidad pública que gestiona el agua, las Obras Sanitarias del Estado (OSE).

Information received concerning the imminent risk of execution of three persons and long prison convictions of three others, in the context of alleged persecution of members of the Howeitat tribe. Messrs. Shadly Ahmad Mahmoud Abou Taqiqa al-Huwaiti, Ibrahim Salih Ahmad Abou Khalil al-Huwaiti and Atallah Moussa Mohammed al-Huwaiti, have been sentenced to death. Messrs. Abdelnasser Ahmad Mahmoud Abou Taqiqa al-Huwaiti, Mahmoud Ahmad Mahmoud Abou Taqiqa al-Huwaiti and Abdullah Dakhilallah al-Huwaiti, have been handed severe prison sentences. All are convicted for terrorist acts, which are allegedly baseless, and they are rather being punished for merely voicing their opposition to the forced evictions of the Howeitat tribe, including on social media. Some of them have allegedly been subjected to torture and ill-treatment while in custody, including prolonged solitary confinement, for the purpose of extracting confessions. The six, along with other members of the Howeitat tribe, have been resisting evictions from their homes under the NEOM project, part of the Saudi 2030 Vision. The NEOM project is being implemented allegedly without genuine consultation, free prior and informed consent, and access to effective remedies of the Howeitat tribe, whose members have been threatened with evictions from Al Khuraiba, Sharma and Gayal villages. NEOM is a project of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which owns 100% of a closed joint-stock company named Neom. A number of international companies, have been allegedly involved in different stages of the development of the Neom Project.

Abdelnasser Ahmad Mahmoud Abou Taqiqaal-Huwaiti, MahmudAhmad Mahmoud Abou Taqiqaal-Huwaiti y Abdullah Dakhilallahal-Huwaití, han sido condenados a severas penas de prisión. Todos están condenados por actos terroristas, supuestamente infundados, y más bien están siendo castigados por simplemente expresar su oposición a los desalojos forzosos de la tribu Howeitat, incluyendo las redes sociales. Al parecer, algunos de ellos han sido sometidos a torturas y malos tratos mientras se encontraban bajo custodia, incluido un régimen de aislamiento prolongado, con el fin de obtener confesiones. Los seis, junto con otros miembros de la tribu Howeitat, se han resistido a los desalojos de sus hogares en el marco del proyecto NEOM, parte de la Visión Saudita 2030. NEOM es un proyecto del Saudi Public Investment Fund, que posee el 100% de una sociedad anónima cerrada denominada NEOM. Supuestamente, varias empresas internacionales han estado involucradas en diferentes etapas del desarrollo del Proyecto NEOM. El proyecto NEOM se está implementando supuestamente sin una consulta genuina, un consentimiento libre, previo e informado, y acceso a recursos efectivos de la tribu Howeitat, cuyos miembros han sido amenazados con desalojos de las poblaciones de Al Khuraiba, Sharma y Gayal.

Information received concerning the alleged imminent threat of forced evictions and home demolitions without plans for adequate alternative housing in Thapathali informal settlement, along the banks of the Bagmati river, in Kathmandu, which could affect up to some 17,500 people (3,500 families), in the context of implementation of Bagmati River Basin Improvement Project and related projects, financed by the Asian Development Bank. These evictions are planned without the provision of any alternative adequate housing and would render many affected persons homeless, thus threatening their health and right to a life in dignity. Additional 2,000 families living in other informal settlements in Kathmandu may also be targeted for evictions in the future. This would be the second time that residents of Thapathali informal settlement would be subjected to forced evictions, after their homes were initially demolished in 2012.

Information concerning difficulties encountered in establishing a durable flow of vital medical supplies to Iran in the context of U.S. sanctions against the country; and particularly the reluctance of key parties to be involved in the supply despite the exemptions that are supposed to allow humanitarian goods to be shipped to Iran. This reluctance, due to substantial overcompliance with the sanctions, has impeded the establishment of lasting arrangements for procuring and shipping medical supplies to Iran, forcing a shift toward ad hoc arrangements that add complexity, time, costs and uncertainty to the supply process, which negatively impact the right to health and right to life of patients for whom the supplies are destined.

The Act, if passed by the Senate, would weaken regulations governing the approval, use and monitoring of pesticides in Brazil, exposing farmers, workers, indigenous peoples and peasant communities to hazardous substances. The draft bill would also allow the use of carcinogenic pesticides, as well as pesticides with a higher risk of reproductive and hormonal problems and malformations in babies. In addition, it would contravene the current measures and commitments your Excellency’s Government has taken to set out clear expectations of responsible business conduct, including respect for human rights.

Allegedly, not only does the project threaten the livelihoods and homes of these families, but it will also cause irreparable damage to the wetlands ecosystem, place more than a million people at increased risk of flooding and pollute the Mekong and Bassac rivers with untreated sewage and harmful pollutants posing serious risks for the communities living along the rivers and relying on them as a source of income and food.

Alegaciones de abuso de autoridad y funciones, y falta de protección de manifestantes y defensores de derechos humanos, por parte de la Policía Nacional nicaragüense en el marco de una manifestación campesina contra la construcción del Canal interoceánico en Nicaragua. Según las informaciones recibidas, en el contexto de acciones de comunidades campesinas y pueblos indígenas contra la construcción del Canal interoceánico en Nicaragua, el Consejo por la Defensa de la Tierra, Lago y Soberanía habría convocado una marcha campesina a nivel nacional para el 27 de octubre de 2015, con el fin de protestar contra el mencionado proyecto y demandar la derogación de la “Ley Especial para el Desarrollo de Infraestructura y Transporte Nicaragüense atingente a El Canal, Zonas de Libre Comercio e Infraestructuras Asociadas” (Ley n. 840). Las autoridades habrían obstaculizado la participación de las personas en las manifestaciones sin razón o motivo aparente. Se reportaron varias detenciones, presuntamente arbitrarias, confiscación de bienes personales, sin mandato judicial y agresiones a los manifestantes por parte de otros grupos de individuos, sin la debida protección por parte de las autoridades. Estas alegaciones conllevarían presuntas violaciones de los derechos a la libertad de reunión y libertad de expresión, así como el derecho a la libertad y a la seguridad personal.

According to the information received, 50 million cubic metres of iron ore waste washed away the Bento Rodrigues district of 600 inhabitants and the ‘mud wave’ penetrated the whole extension of the Doce river and the sea beyond the estuary, affecting the entire ecosystem of the region in its downstream path of 850 km towards the sea. Around 3 million people are estimated to be affected. Studies have shown the toxicity of the wastes, with high levels of hazardous substances such as arsenic, barium, lead, manganese, copper, iron, nickel, zinc, antimony, chrome, cobalt, vanadium, phosphor and aluminium reported. Most cities in the flood path have had water cuts, since their main water source is the Doce River and the water is untreatable for human consumption due to the large presence of suspended solids and heavy metals. It is reported that 11 bodies have been found and 12 persons are missing. Hospitals have also received patients displaying symptoms of intoxication by heavy metals. Similar communications were sent to BHP Billiton Ltd, see above, case no. OTH 11/2015, and to Vale S.A , see below, case no. OTH 13/2015.

Presuntas violaciones de varios derechos humanos de al menos 12.000 personas que viven en 14 comunidades en el departamento de El Petén, Guatemala, debido a la contaminación del río La Pasión además de alegaciones de restricciones en el trabajo de defensores de derechos humanos denunciando esta situación. Según la información recibida, desde abril de 2015 se ha encontrado una gran cantidad de peces muertos flotando en el río. Se alega que la muerte de peces en el río La Pasión está relacionada con la presencia de altos niveles de un pesticida organofosforado llamado "malatión". La contaminación del río fue responsabilidad de REPSA, una empresa de aceite de palma que tiene una plantación y una planta de procesamiento ubicada cerca de los afluentes de dicho río. Se alega además que el río La Pasión es una fuente hídrica esencial para el sustento de aproximadamente 12.000 personas del municipio de Sayaxché. Igualmente, se ha constatado que miembros de las comunidades utilizan el agua del río para lavar ropa, pesca cocinar, beber, bañarse y para la agricultura de subsistencia.

From the source of the contamination to the mouth of the sea, around 6 million people are affected by this disaster. The environmental damage to the region is said to be irreparable as the flood waters have produced a dense toxic mud that has entered the River Doce, contaminating it with very high levels of hazardous substances. All cities in the flood path have had water cuts and many residents have had to be taken to hospital for respiratory irritation and intoxication of heavy metals. 11 bodies had been found and 12 persons are still officially missing.

Allegations concerning the trial and conviction on charges of criminal defamation of an Angolan journalist and human rights defender. According to the information received, Mr. Rafael Marques de Morais was indicted in January 2013 on charges of defamation in relation to his book titled "Blood Diamonds: Corruption and Torture in Angola" which was published in Portugal in 2011. It is alleged that a number of procedural irregularities took place during the pre-trial period of Mr. Marques' trial. Furthermore, additional charges were lodged against Mr. Marques when the trial started on 24 March 2015, bringing the total criminal defamation charges lodged against him to 24. Conviction on such charges could allegedly lead to a nine year prison sentence and fine of 1.2 million USD. The case had reportedly been settled by way of a negotiated agreement in May 2015. However, the settlement agreement was then reversed and the court sentenced Mr. Marques to six months in prison, suspended for two years, whereby, if he engages in any behaviour that the Republic of Angola deems criminal, the sentence will be implemented.

Alleged negative impact on lowest incomes of rising water costs leading to water poverty. According to a report by the House of Commons Library, in England and Wales water bills might not be affordable for a large number of people. Nearly one-third of those on the lowest incomes already have to pay more than 3 per cent of their income for their water and sewerage bills. If people pay more than 3 per cent of their income for water and sewerage, Government regards them as being affected by ‘water poverty’. According to a survey, 23.6 per cent of households in England and Wales paid more than 3 per cent of their net income after housing cost on water and sewerage in 2009-2010. Nearly half of those paid more than 5 per cent of household disposable income. This is a sharp increase compared to 9 per cent of households who were affected by ‘water poverty’ in 2002-2003. National Debtline received a record 19,667 calls for help with water debts in 2012 (up from 12,225 in 2011). The figure represents an increase of 251% since 2007.

According to information received, as part of the austerity measures the privatization of water and sanitation services in Portugal continues. While the human rights to water and sanitation do not prescribe a particular form of service delivery, there are allegations that concerned populations have not participated in the decision-making process and that the privatization has made water and sanitation services unaffordable for some people. This trend has reportedly also had a negative impact on access and affordability of adequate housing, disproportionally affecting vulnerable sectors of the population.

En este sentido, también se expresa preocupación por el presunto incumplimiento de las medidas impuestas a la Empresa de Energía del Pacífico (EPSA) por el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible.
