 Download as PDF (9 MB) | Executive Summary in English

This report analyzes the impacts generated by oil infrastructure in the northern Peruvian Amazon from legal and sociological perspectives, since its installation in the 1970’s to the present, with a special emphasis on the impacts produced by the North Peruvian oil pipeline on the human rights of Indigenous peoples.

The report covers both the set of legal norms and institutions created by the government, as well as the infrastructures that make up what the author has called the “oil circuit” – wells, pipeline, and refinery.

In addition, the conclusions were drawn from the voices of the
Indigenous organizations affected by this infrastructure.
