Share TweetBy Chito ChavezThe Commission on Human Rights (CHR) has insisted that there should be a sense of balance on the projected benefits that should be shared in the construction of national development projects in the country such as the Kaliwa Dam project. “They have the right to full disclosure of information about the project and the right to negotiate and manifest objection. The CHR noted that some indigenous groups have already expressed fear that their inputs or objection to the project will merely be ignored. Members of the affected indigenous communities have also questioned the issuance of the Environmental Compliance Certificate for Kaliwa Dam as threats of flooding and destruction of their sacred land and biodiversity will be confronted once the project commences.
