Deviandes Sues Peru in U.S. Court to Enforce $99.4 Million ICSID Award

The case stems from tribunal findings that state failures at the Ticlio toll violated concession obligations.

Overview

  • On March 10, Deviandes filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking recognition and execution of a November 2024 ICSID award.
  • The ICSID tribunal ordered Peru to pay $99.4 million after finding breaches tied to the Carretera Central concession.
  • Findings included failure to complete formal acceptance of works, inadequate response to protests that blocked opening of the Ticlio toll, and preventing operation and revenue collection at the station.
  • If the U.S. court grants enforcement, Deviandes could pursue attachment or other measures against Peruvian state assets abroad if payment is not made.
  • A recent Kuntur Wasi case in the same court resulted in a default finding and roughly $91 million owed by Peru, highlighting enforcement risk.
