We help ALL #EnvironmentDefenders by sharing the landmark #Kawas case: Still the only specific #international #RuleOfLaw requiring States like #Colombia to protect at-risk earth activists. Kawas holds corrupt gov’ts liable for criminalizing/killing #EHRDs: environmentaldefenders.org
environment-rights.org@EHRDsRights

#Colombia: outrage over killing of 14-year-old indigenous activist Breiner David Cucuñame. States must take urgent action to stop violence against environmental human rights defenders. Measures to secure the protection of children defenders are critical. theguardian.com/global-develop…

Indigenous Land Defenders are being murdered and investors can and must stop this! This toolkit shows them how. Make sure your money doesn't finance Indigenous rights violations by sending this to your bank, fund manger, financial advisor or pension fund. respectingindigenousrights.org

HUGE!!! Important win in the fight to stop SLAPPs--companies should not be able to use the courts to silence their critics. #StopSLAPPs!
Greenpeace USA@greenpeaceusa

UPDATE: WE WON! 🎉 For 7 years, @GreenpeaceUSA has been battling a lawsuit designed to silence us just for speaking out. But it just made us LOUDER! While it's a major victory for us, there's still work to do to ensure we #StopSLAPPs and end corporate bullying for everyone.

Instead of actually providing access to remedy, the draft framework: ❌Disclaims any responsibility to provide remedy ❌Doesn't address the accountability crisis within IFC ❌Rejects most of the recommendations that could have resulted in meaningful change.earthrights.org/ifcs-accountab…

The IFC Draft Remedial Framework = Abject failure "Anyone who causes or contributes to injury to someone else has an obligation to provide a remedy to the injured party. This is a basic legal principle that everyone understands–except the IFC." earthrights.org/ifcs-accountab…

For years, corporations have used SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) to silence free speech. Now they're attacking @greenpeaceusa. No one should be bullied for speaking up. Show your support and tell companies to #StopSLAPPs.
