Snapshot: In March 2019, the Indigenous communities of Huini Coroccohuaycco and Pacopata of the Espinar Province filed a Constitutional writ (amparo) demanding that the Peruvian State initiate the process of free, prior and informed consent in accordance with international standards through the National Service of Environmental Certification for Sustainable Investments (SENACE) regarding the Glencore Antapaccay Tintaya Expansion. The community claims they are affected by the amendment to the mine's Environmental Impact Assessment (Modification of the Environmental Impact Study called "Glencore Antapaccay Tintaya Expansion – Coroccohuayco Integration") and denounce the lack of community participation. The case is supported by the Legal Defense Institute, Human Rights without Borders, and CooperAcción. The case is ongoing.
