The exploitation of natural resources continued in indigenous lands, without adequate consultation with the communities concerned, thereby affecting the rights of indigenous peoples to lands and territories, as well as their traditional forms of collective life and social organization. Delays continued in the compliance by the Government with judgments of the Constitutional Court regarding consultation in the Ixil region (2016 case involving electricity generation and power lines) (A/HRC/31/3/Add.1, para. 25) and the Xinca region (2018 case involving the San Rafael mine) (A/HRC/40/3/Add.1, para. 60).
