Ilo .-

In our consideration:

The civil society representatives democratically elected to the dialogue table of Ilo, in deference to this mandate and the need to adopt the final agreements in the negotiation process between the Southern and civil society of Ilo, we performed the assembly of delegates, where we present information the dialogue process and proposals made by various actors in search of adopting participatory decisions on behalf of the town of Ilo.

Ilo civil society has shown for more than 4 years a tolerant and dialogue in search of arrangements for the benefit of sustainable development of our city and region. Despite public statements by breaking the space for dialogue by the company, we have insisted on retaining the Bureau and was successfully completed by filing alternatives and proposals, such as the Framework Convention on projects including economic, social proposed by environmental and civil society.

reiterated regret the Southern attitude not to sign the Framework Convention, stating that it is signed authorities and civil society, since the main parties in this Roundtable include business and civil society. With this, the Southern assumes no financial commitments for the implementation of projects requested by civil society and feel Ilo circumvented the demands of the population, after decades of environmental impacts affecting the economic, social and health population, reasons that led to the talks.

In this situation, the Assembly reached the following agreements:
1 .- Civil society representatives should not sign any final agreement document, not to express a serious and responsible party of the company.

2 .- Require local and regional authorities involved in the Roundtable to refrain from signing this agreement, not having made an inquiry to gather the opinion of the population.

3 .- Report the company to national and international bodies showing their irresponsible towards society and the local environment. Sincerely

. Alejandro Leon Palomino
