Mapuche-Williche vs Statkraft AS
19 September 2024
The complaint is submitted by Machi Millaray-Huichalaf and the Council of Ionkos and includes a wide range of Mapuche-Williche communities in Southern Chile.
The complainants claim that Statkraft AS has failed to observe the OECD Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct when it comes to risk-based human rights due diligence, in particular when it comes to involvement of indigenous people and land rights, environmental impact and religious traditions related to the development of three hydro-power plants in the Pilmaiquén-river in Sotuhern Chile.
The complaint refers to several of the chapters in the OECD Guidelines (see table below).
The NCP has decided to accept parts of the complaint for further consideration.
