« The Special Rapporteur has expressed concern to the Government of Chile for the evictions and violent clashes, as well as the threat of possible future evictions, against members of the Rapa Nui people, who since July 2010 have held peaceful occupations of buildings and other places in Easter Island, Chile, to demand recognition of their rights to their ancestral lands. The Special Rapporteur encourages the Government to prevent further evictions and to ensure that police presence on the island does not exceed what is necessary and proportionate to ensure the safety of the island’s inhabitants. He urges the Government to make every effort to carry out a good faith dialogue with representatives of the Rapa Nui people to solve, as soon as possible, the underlying issues in the current situation.
