In August 2016, the Justice and Corporate Accountability Project (JCAP) filed a complaint against Tahoe Resources Inc. at the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), requesting (among other things) that the SEC investigate whether Tahoe "failed to meet legal requirements for disclosing human rights abuses and failed to disclose lawsuits that impact the Escobal mine" (NISGUA, 2016). The request was filed on behalf of Network in Solidarity with Guatemala (NISGUA) and Santa Rosa Diocese Council for the Defence of Nature (CODIDENA). The SEC did not respond to the JCAP's request.
JCAP is "a volunteer-driven transnational, collaborative, community-based legal clinic" based in Canada that "offer[s] legal knowledge to communities that are negatively affected by natural resource extraction." See also Legal Action entitled, "2013-2019 Complaints to Canadian Securities Regulators" for information regarding similar complaints brought by JCAP in Canada.
