...on April 26, 2010, the IACHR [Inter-American Commission on Human Rights] filed an application in Case 12.465, the Kichwa Peoples of the Sarayaku Community and Its Members, Ecuador. The case involves the State's acts and omissions to the detriment of the Kichwa indigenous people of the Sarayaku community and its members, given that the State has allowed an oil company [Compañía General de Combustible (CGC), part of Southern Cross] to carry out activities on the community's ancestral territory without prior consultation, placing the population at risk. This situation has made it impossible for the indigenous community to seek its means of subsistence in its territory and has restricted its right to movement within the territory.
