Mapuche-Williche vs Statkraft AS

The complaint is submitted by Mapuche-Williche communities of the Pilmayken territory,
represented by Aylla Rewe of the Ngen Mapu Kintuantü and ancestral authorities, the Machi Millaray Huichalaf, spiritual authority of the Mapuche people, and the council of Ionkos and includes a number 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 NCP has decided to accept parts of the complaint for further consideration.
