It is necessary to mobilize national and international public opinion against these illegal actions by the Canadian company. The case of the mining concession has been closed by the Costa Rican justice system and it is unacceptable that attempts are being made to exploit the openings provided by the international investment protection framework to force a decision on to a sovereign country that has already established that it doesn’t want open-cast mining in its national territory. * Translated from Spanish into English by Thomas Mc Donagh
Es necesario movilizar a la opinión pública nacional e internacional contra estos intentos ilegales de la empresa canadiense, la concesión minera es un caso cerrado por el marco judicial costarricense y es por tanto, inaceptable los intentos de aprovechar los portillos que establece el marco internacional de protección de inversiones para doblegar a un país que soberanamente ha establecido que no quiere en su territorio nacional la minería a cielo abierto.
