Andean Court accepts case against Peru over illegal mining and dredges in the Nanay
The Court of Justice of the Andean Community admitted a formal lawsuit against the Peruvian State for illegal mining, according to Google News PE — Crime. The legal action directly questions the Integral Registry of Mining Formalisation (Reinfo), an official mechanism which, according to the claimants, would have facilitated extractive activities outside the law.
The complaint also alerts to the presence of more than 100 dredges operating in the Nanay River, an Amazonian tributary located in the Loreto region. The concentration of machinery in that area represents a warning signal about the scale of illegal extraction in the basin.
Reinfo was created as a transitional tool for miners in the process of formalisation, but denouncing bodies maintain that its application has allowed those who do not meet legal requirements to operate. The admission of the lawsuit by the Andean Court opens a supranational forum for review of Peruvian mining policies and their compatibility with community standards.
