\"\"Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean (ATALC)<\/strong>, meeting in its Annual General Assembly (AGA) in the Province of Sucumb\u00edos, Municipality of Amisacho (Lago Agrio), salutes and supports the just struggle of the Union of People Affected by Texaco-Chevron Oil Operations (UDAPT)\/Friends of the Earth Ecuador, and the legitimate demands of those affected by the exploitation and territorial dispossession.<\/p>\n

The transnational oil company Chevron refuses to pay the cost of environmental, social and cultural reparation in favour of the Amazon and thus comply with the irrevocable and definitive judicial sentence, and for which there is no instance or institution that can overturn it. So far, the consequences of Chevron’s operation have had serious impacts on the peoples of the northern Ecuadorian Amazon: cancer, hunger, extermination, and a host of injustices that are widely known in the region. In addition, the architecture of impunity, the complicity of neoliberal states, and the Investor-State Dispute Settlement Mechanism (ISDS) guarantee the continuity of criminal operations of the transnational oil company in other countries in different parts of the world.<\/p>\n

We express our solidarity with the affected indigenous nationalities and Ecuadorian peasant organisations and movements; the rights of the people and their human rights take precedence over any trade agreement or the accumulation interests of transnational corporations and their model of dispossession. In one voice with UDAPT we demand the approval of the ambitious and effective international legally binding instrument on transnational corporations on human rights (Binding Treaty) in the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council. The Binding Treaty in the version worked on with the participation of the affected people and the organisations and movements articulated in the Global Campaign to Reclaim Peoples’ Sovereignty, Dismantle Corporate Power and End Impunity, is an instrument that will open the way to access to justice, full reparation and guarantees of non-repetition.<\/p>\n

We urge the Ecuadorian government to respect the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, to respect the legal instruments of Human Rights, and therefore to respect the sentence that favours the Amazonian inhabitants. For us, it is unacceptable that an arbitration award based on investment protection instruments should be given supremacy, and that a judgment based on human rights instruments should be disregarded. The conspiratorial position of the Ecuadorian state is also unacceptable.<\/p>\n

Our will and our actions are with the peoples of the Ecuadorian Amazon and their sovereignty, we will work at their side until impunity is ended.<\/p>\n

We are still fighting!<\/p>\n

Solidaridad internacionalista con los pueblos ecuatorianos<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amigos de la Tierra Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe (ATALC) reunido en su Asamblea General Anual (AGA) en la Provincia de Sucumb\u00edos, Municipio de Amisacho (Lago Agrio) saluda y respalda la justa lucha de la Uni\u00f3n de Afectadas\/os por Operaciones Petroleras de Texaco \u2013 Chevron, (UDAPT) \/Amigos de la Tierra Ecuador, y las leg\u00edtimas exigencias de las \/os afectadas\/os por la explotaci\u00f3n y el despojo territorial.<\/p>\n

La transnacional petrolera Chevron se niega a pagar el costo de la reparaci\u00f3n ambiental, social y cultural en favor de la Amazon\u00eda y cumplir as\u00ed con la sentencia judicial irrevocable y definitiva, y para la que no existe ninguna instancia ni instituci\u00f3n que pueda derogarla. Hasta ahora las consecuencias de la operaci\u00f3n de Chevron tienen graves impactos en los pueblos de la Amazon\u00eda Norte del Ecuador: c\u00e1ncer, hambre, exterminio, y un sinn\u00famero de injusticias que son ampliamente conocidas en la regi\u00f3n. Adicionalmente, la arquitectura de la impunidad , la complicidad de Estados neoliberales, y el Mecanismo de Soluci\u00f3n de Controversias Inversionista – Estado (ISDS, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s), garantizan la continuidad de operaciones criminales de la transnacional petrolera en otros pa\u00edses en distintas partes del mundo.<\/p>\n

Expresamos nuestra solidaridad con las\/os afectadas\/os de las nacionalidades ind\u00edgenas y organizaciones y movimientos campesinos ecuatorianos; los derechos de los pueblos y sus derechos humanos priman sobre cualquier acuerdo comercial o inter\u00e9s de acumulaci\u00f3n de las empresas transnacionales y su modelo de despojo. En una sola voz con UDAPT exigimos la aprobaci\u00f3n del instrumento internacional jur\u00eddicamente vinculante sobre empresas transnacionales en materia de derechos humanos (Tratado Vinculante) ambicioso y eficaz, en el Consejo de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas (ONU). El Tratado Vinculante en la versi\u00f3n trabajada con la participaci\u00f3n de las\/os afectadas\/os y las organizaciones y movimientos articulados en la Campa\u00f1a Global para Reivindicar la Soberan\u00eda de los Pueblos, Desmantelar el Poder Corporativo y poner Fin a la Impunidad, es un instrumento que abrir\u00e1 paso al acceso a la justicia, a la reparaci\u00f3n integral y a las garant\u00edas de no repetici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Exhortamos al gobierno ecuatoriano a respetar la Constituci\u00f3n de la Rep\u00fablica del Ecuador, respetar los instrumentos jur\u00eddicos de Derechos Humanos, y por ende respetar la sentencia que favorece a los pobladores amaz\u00f3nicos. Para nosotras\/os es inaceptable que se pretenda dar supremac\u00eda a un laudo arbitral que se basa en instrumentos de protecci\u00f3n de inversiones, y se pretenda desconocer una sentencia que se basa en instrumentos de derechos humanos. Es tambi\u00e9n inaceptable la posici\u00f3n de conspiraci\u00f3n del Estado ecuatoriano.<\/p>\n

Nuestra voluntad y nuestras acciones est\u00e1n con los pueblos de la Amazon\u00eda ecuatoriana y su soberan\u00eda, trabajaremos a su lado hasta poner fin a la impunidad.<\/p>\n

\u00a1Seguimos en lucha!<\/p>\n
