La solidarité internationaliste à travers le monde : le point sur nos luttes en 2020/2021

Friends of the Earth International highlights a global rise in authoritarianism and neoliberal economic expansion that has increased violence against environmental defenders, citing 227 deadly attacks in 2020 alone. The organization details its support for specific struggles, including the Garifuna people in Honduras facing land grabbing, social movements in Colombia resisting neoliberalism, Palestinians fighting for food sovereignty under Israeli occupation, and fishing communities in Mozambique affected by Total's LNG project. The document advocates for national protections for defenders and a binding UN treaty to hold multinational corporations accountable for human rights and environmental violations.

• The expansion of neoliberal economic systems has led to increased privatization and commodification of nature, which the document links to systemic crises in climate, biodiversity, food, and water.
• Violence against environmental and human rights defenders has surged due to rising authoritarianism and corporate activity; Global Witness recorded 227 fatal attacks related to natural resource exploitation in 2020, with over a third in Latin America affecting indigenous populations.
• In Honduras, the Garifuna indigenous community faces systematic attacks and land grabbing by banana and oil palm companies, as well as tourism developers, without the required Free, Prior and Informed Consent.
• The Israeli occupation of Palestine has caused severe human rights violations and environmental degradation, including land and water grabbing, pollution, and the restriction of food sovereignty in Gaza and the West Bank.
• In Mozambique, the 'Mozambique LNG' project involving the French company Total has displaced over 550 families and cut off fishing community access to the sea, while the region remains vulnerable to climate change, as seen in two catastrophic cyclones in 2019.
• The organization advocates for a binding United Nations treaty to ensure multinational corporations and their investors are held accountable in international courts for violations of human rights, environmental law, and labor standards.
