Dec. 30 (UPI) -- A U.S. federal judge declared the state of Peru in default in a court proceeding to enforce a $91 million international arbitral award after the country failed to respond or appear before the court within the required deadlines.
The decision stems from a lawsuit filed by concessionaire Kuntur Wasi, linked to the canceled Chinchero International Airport project in the Cusco region of southern Peru.
Peruvian daily La República reported the ruling was issued by Judge Richard León of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
"Peru never appeared nor filed an answer or any other submission," the order said.
