Fosen Supreme Court judgement necessitates renewed process to ensure that the indigenous communities at Fosen can continue exercising their culture

In October 2021, the Norwegian Supreme Court rejected the petition from Fosen Vind regarding the setting of damages for two Sami sijte (reindeer husbandry groups) in connection with the Roan and Storheia projects, 这些都是福森风力发电场开发的一部分. The reason for the rejection was that the Supreme Court found the licences were invalid as they violated the indigenous rights of the Sami sijte under Article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Court found that the impact the wind parks could have on the reindeers’ winter grazing areas entailed a clear risk that the Sami sijte, 从长远来看, 将不得不大幅减少他们的动物数量吗. The conclusion was that this would have a substantially negative effect on their ability to exercise their nomadic culture, 除非实施了令人满意的缓解措施. The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MPE) has confirmed that no immediate measures will be taken in relation to the concession while the work to identify appropriate mitigating measures to be implemented is ongoing.

An agreement for the construction phase of the projects was reached between Fosen Vind and Sør-Fosen sijte and Nord-Fosen siida. Unfortunately, no agreement could be reached for the operations phase and the issue of compensation for this phase was therefore brought to the courts for resolution. 根据最高法院的判决, MPE has outlined an administrative process with the aim to identify mitigation measures that safeguard the reindeer herders’ right to cultural practice and maintain reindeer husbandry at Fosen in the long-term. MPE will consider relevant changes to the wind park licences to ensure the protection of Sami’s indigenous rights. 鉴于十大靠谱网赌对尊重人权的承诺, Fosen Vind and Statkraft will support this process and have proposed an impact assessment programme, 按MPE的要求.

Fosen Vind will continue the dialogue with Sør-Fosen sijte with the aim of adopting appropriate mitigating measures that safeguard the reindeer herders’ cultural rights in line with Article 27, 短期和长期都有. Fosen Vind has also outlined a plan for our emergency preparedness to help Sør-Fosen sijte in the event of a challenging grazing situation during the winter 2021/2022.
