11 assessments were carried out prior to the alleged awarding of concessions in Saramaka territory without the consent of the Saramaka people was “not yet available.” 23. The representatives indicated that the Afobaka Road project was being carried out and a stone mining concession had been granted in Saramaka territory despite that no prior ESIAs had been conducted. They also stated that they were unaware of whether an ESIA had been carried out prior to the grant of the abovementioned logging concession in May 2010 (supra Considering clauses 14, 15, 17, and 20). According to the representatives, “The Saramaka are therefore unable to evaluate possible risks and impacts, singular or cumulative, as part of considering whether to knowingly and voluntarily accept the project to upgrade the road.” 24. The Commission maintained that the State “did not [provide] specific information” on this issue. It therefore requested that the Court require information on the steps being taken in order to comply with this order. 25. With respect to the Afobaka road project and the logging concession granted in May 2010 (supra Considering clauses 14, 15, 17, and 20), the Court reminds the State that the granting of any new concessions without prior environmental and social impact assessments would constitute a direct contravention of the Court's decision, and, accordingly, of the State's international treaty obligations (supra Considering clauses 36).

The State initially reported that the SSDI project was to “provide the building blocks for […] the legal framework [and] collective rights.” However, the State subsequently informed the Court that it had “officially put a stop” to the project on December 15, 2010. 28. The representatives stated that “[t]here has been little progress on the development of the legislative and other measures required to give effect to the
