The UN special rapporteurs on Adequate Housing (Miloon Khotari) and Fundamental Liberties of Indigenous Peoples (Rodolfo Stavenhagen) have recommended that the Mexican Government suspend all work toward La Parota Dam, finding that the process to date has not respected human rights. Declaring that the government has attempted to impose the dam “by force,” the rapporteurs called on Mexico to initiate a process of dialogue and reconciliation for the communities that have found themselves divided by the conflict.

On March 14, the International Day of Action for Rivers, CECOP brought communities together to protest La Parota Dam, and more than 1,000 people gathered as a governmental assembly in Acapulco condemned to project.
