Allegations of discrimination against the indigenous Evenki “Dylacha” community.
According to the information received, “Dylacha” is an indigenous Evenki obshchina
(clan community) founded in 1992 and located in Bauntovski Evenkiisky District,
Baikal region, Republic of Buryatia. Dylacha held a license to carry out mining and
related processing of nephrite, a type of jade. The livelihood of the indigenous peoples
of the Baikal region has been based on mining and processing of nephrite for
hundreds of years. Reportedly, although Dylacha has complied with relevant Russian
legislation and regulations in carrying out its activities, including its mining
operations, Government authorities have dissolved Dylacha alleging that its activities
were in violation of Russian legislation. Specifically, it was alleged that the
community is not permitted to carry out “non-traditional activities" but only has the
right to generate earnings from fishing, hunting and reindeer husbandry. These actions
against Dylacha have allegedly caused it to experience significant economic hardship.
