their categorical rejection of the highway because it would be an attack on its territorialintegrity, its conservation of high biodiversity, and the socio-cultural development of the indigenous peopleswho ancestrally inhabit it; decisions which were ratified by the Subcentral TIPNIS, the title- and rights-holder to the territory, the Subcentral Sécure, the Central of Ethnic Mojeño Peoples of Beni (CPEMB), andthe Confederation of Indigenous Peoples of the East, the Chaco, and Amazonía of Bolivia (CIDOB);
CONSIDERING:
That the Bolivian state has never taken into account (and even less consulted) these decisions rejectingthe construction of the highway through our territory, and to the contrary has carried on approving a seriesof juridical acts such as Supreme Decree 26996/03 [of 2003], Law 3477/06, the Base Document for Contracting of 28 February 2008, and Law 005/10, through which it has carried forward invariably andwithout our consultation or participation, the highway project which irremediably would pass through our territory, against our express and manifest decision;
