Appeal to civil society organizations to stop expansion of Camisea II 
gas project in the Peruvian Amazon


Rainforest Foundation Norway would like to invite civil society
organisations in donor countries to the international financial
institutions IDB and IFC, to take action against the harmful gas
extraction project Camisea II in Peru. The Inter-American Development 
Bank (IDB) and the World Bank GroupÂ’s institution for loans to private
enterprises, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), are 
considering loan requests for a total of 1,1 billion US dollars to 
Camisea this autumn.

The loans would fund expansion of activities that seriously threaten a
vast area of primary rainforest in the Peruvian Amazon, as well as some 
of the last uncontacted indigenous tribes on Earth. The companies 
responsible for Camisea II are Repsol YPF of Spain, SK Corporation of 
South Korea, and Hunt Oil of USA.

Donor countries to IDB and IFC have the responsibility to ensure that 
any projects financed by these institutions comply with international
standards for human rights and environmental protection.

Rainforest Foundation Norway is cooperating with organizations in Peru 
and the USA in an effort to get donor countries to stop IDB and IFC from
financing Camisea, unless all relevant environmental and human rights
standards are met and the free, prior and informed consent of the 
affected indigenous peoples is secured.

To this end, we have prepared a letter that will be sent to the 
ministries of foreign affairs in most of the countries that are 
represented in the same voting blocks as Norway in IDB and IFC. We would 
have a much better chance of achieving a positive result if several 
countries would raise the issue simultaneously, and for this we need 
your support.

The voting groups are the following:

IDB: Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Norway, Spain and Sweden

IFC: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and 
Sweden

We would like to encourage organisations in these countries to sign the
attached letter, and to forward this e-mail to other organisations that
might want to sign. Deadline for signing up is WEDNESDAY 19 OCTOBER 2007.

We also ask organisations to raise the Camisea issue directly with the
ministries of foreign affairs in their countries.

We attach documents: the letter to ministries of foreign affairs, a 4 
page background document on the Camisea project, and a recent report by
Amazon Watch that concludes that the IDB and IFC would breach their own
standards as well as international human rights law if they were to
finance expansion of Camisea.

We hope that your organisations will join us in the endeavour to put the
destructive Camisea project on the international agenda.

Vemund Olsen

Rainforest Foundation Norway
