  • The PERU LNG Project’S Contribution to World Heritage
    The PERU LNG Project’s Contribution to World Heritage By Gregory D. Lockard Environmental Resources Management (ERM) The PERU LNG Project involved the construction of a natural gas pipeline (Slide 2), liquefaction plant (Slide 3), and marine terminal to load liquid natural gas (LNG) ships (Slide 4). The project also involved the use of a quarry to obtain rocks for the construction of a breakwater at the marine terminal (Slide 5). The PERU LNG plant is the first natural gas liquefaction plant in South America. The pipeline extends from the community of Chiquintirca in Ayacucho to the plant and marine terminal at Melchorita (Slide 6), which is located on the Pacific coast approximately 170 kilometers south of Lima. The pipeline extends for 408 km and passes through the departments of Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Ica, and Lima. It ranges in elevation from approximately 150 meters above sea level at the plant to over 4900 meters, making it the highest natural gas pipeline in the world. The PERU LNG Project has produced significant economic benefits for the people and government of Peru, and will continue to do so for years to come. It is the largest private investment project to date in Peru at over $3.8 billion. The operation of the plant will result in the inflow of foreign currency into the economy, as the country’s export revenues will reach an estimated average of $1 billion per year. The Peruvian government will receive approximately $310 million a year in taxes and indirect royalties during its operation. A percentage of the royalties will be distributed to the project’s regions of influence by means of the Camisea Socio- economic Development Fund (Fondo Desarrollo Socioeconómico de Camisea, or FOCAM).

  • PERU @Human Rights During the Government of President Alberto Fujimori
    £PERU @Human rights during the government of President Alberto Fujimori 1. Summary Despite repeated statements by President Alberto Fujimori and representatives of his administration that human rights standards are to be fully respected, and the issuing of directives and the implementation of reforms designed to reverse the pattern of abuses extending back to January 1983, Amnesty International has continued to document gross human rights violations throughout the Republic of Peru1. Widespread "disappearances" and extrajudicial executions by the security forces (see Appendix 1, Tables 1 and 2), as well as torture continued to be the organization's principal concerns in Peru. The vast majority of victims were peasants suspected of sympathizing or collaborating with armed opposition groups and living in areas declared under a state of emergency. Amnesty International is also concerned about repeated death threats, attacks and killings of independent and official human rights defenders. Among the victims were journalists, members of independent human rights organizations and representatives of the Public Ministry. Amnesty International is further concerned about the apparently arbitrary detention of at least 50 people shortly before or in the wake of an announcement by President Alberto Fujimori on 5 April 1992 immediately dissolving Congress and establishing an executive-led transitional Government of Emergency and National Reconstruction. The detainees included ministers under the government of former president Alan García Pérez, politicians,
