Indigenous Demand Share Of ICE Profits On Diquis Hydro Electric Project

Costa Rica's Terraba indigenous claim that the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) should give the community 10% of the profits from the "El Diquis" hydro electric project.

The position of the community has been made clear in a "recurso amparo" (appeal) made to the Sala Constitucional (Constitutional Court) where the Terraba argue that ICE is not respecting international agreements which clearly indicate indigenous territories are autonomous and should have been consulted before on the project.

However, that was not done and the Terraba was a piece of the action.

ICE says it plans to investigate the situation and come to some agreement following the results.
