Defendemos el medioambiente, defendemos los derechos humanos

The document highlights a global trend of violence against environmental defenders, often linked to conflicts between powerful economic interests and local communities over territory and natural resources. It calls for the establishment of legally binding norms for transnational corporations and the protection of the right to self-determination to ensure social and environmental justice.

• Violence against environmental defenders is not a series of isolated incidents but a global trend driven by an international context dominated by corporate interests, specifically where powerful economic entities conflict with local communities over natural resources and territory.
• Friends of the Earth International reports receiving an average of one complaint per week regarding violence against environmental defenders and violations of their rights.
• The document advocates for the creation of an international treaty and legally binding enforcement mechanisms to compel transnational corporations to respect the rights of nature, individuals, and rights defenders.
• The text identifies the neoliberal model of production and consumption led by transnational corporations as a barrier to the right of self-determination and the establishment of sustainable livelihoods.
