International law applies to all States, without exception. Respect for its rules is not optional. Without it, instability spreads, mistrust deepens & conflicts spiral out of control. This is not the moment to retreat from international law. It is the moment to reaffirm it.

A Thai court has ordered compensation for hundreds of residents affected by pollution linked to Thailand’s largest gold mine. The ruling found that mining operations caused environmental damage and health impacts in nearby communities, and also required the operator to restore contaminated waterways. The case, heard by the Thai Civil Court, is Thailand’s first environmental class action and follows years of complaints from local villagers. The decision is seen as a landmark moment for environmental accountability in Thailand.

Authorities Find Over 200,000kg of Suspected E-Waste in Containers at Laem Chabang Authorities on March 10 inspected 18 suspicious shipping containers at Laem Chabang Port in Chon Buri and found more than 200,000 kilograms of suspected electronic waste, amid a crackdown on illegal imports of hazardous materials. The inspection was carried out jointly by the Customs Department, the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) and the Pollution Control Department. Officials found that 12 containers declared as scrap metal from Haiti actually contained scrap mixed with electronic circuit boards, classifying the cargo as electronic waste. The shipment weighed about 284,919 kilograms with an estimated value of more than 2.5 million baht. Another four containers, identified through information shared with investigators, were declared as metal scraps from the United States, with shipping destinations listed as Japan and Hong Kong. Two additional containers, declared as aluminium scrap from the United States and the Netherlands, had previously been detained after the importer was flagged by an international monitoring network. Preliminary checks indicate some of the cargo may constitute illegally imported hazardous waste, potentially violating Thai law and the Basel Convention regulating cross-border waste shipments. Authorities said the shipments would be returned to their countries of origin and legal action would be pursued against those involved. Under the Customs Act, offenders face up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to 500,000 baht, or both. #Thailand #ElectronicWaste #Japan #Haiti #HongKong #Netherlands #US

♻️On the sidelines of the 2nd meeting of the expert group on environmental crimes held in Vienna from 24 to 26 March, 🇫🇷 and @INTERPOL_HQ organised a breakfast meeting dedicated to the fight against waste trafficking. Waste trafficking is a massive and extremely lucrative phenomenon with serious consequences: water, soil and air pollution, damage to biodiversity, corruption and money laundering. The discussions highlighted the expertise, knowledge and experience of the panellists from the French Gendarmerie, INTERPOL, Ghana and @UNODC . On this occasion, @UNODC presented the new chapter of its global analysis on environmental crime, dedicated to waste trafficking⤵️. unodc.org/unodc/en/data-…
