On the day of the #GlencoreAGM, words from the international delegation to Colombia on #ISDS#DoGlencoreInvestorsKnow the company is suing Colombia to try overturn a ruling protecting communities and the fragile ecosystem of La Guajira from the Cerrejón mine.
@Glencore say they are committed to fighting the climate crisis, but sue Colombia because its highest constitutional authority stops mining expansion in a territory suffering from climate vulnerability and water scarcity #STOPISDS Mission to Colombia
Ahmed Hafezi @WarOnWant, is part of an international mission that visited #LaGuajira, where #Cerrejon coal mine #Glencore, operates. Hafezi talks about the impacts of the mine on the territory & Glencore's investor-state lawsuit against #Colombia, for protecting the Bruno Stream

The wayuu community is still fighting to keep the Bruno Creek as it was before the river relocation by Glencore.
They depend on this water and have an ancestral link to the river.
They will keep fighting the corporation.

We raise our demand that Glencore withdraw these unjust and abusive demands and, instead, repair the social and environmental damages. #StopISDS#GlencoreStopSuingColombiaNow!

@Glencore have a abundant evidence of abuses and rights violations in South American and African countries. Will it be a policy of these companies to sue countries in the Global South every time national courts protect rights and ecosystems?
