Delighted that @projectlawyers has joined Nature Crime Alliance & looking fwd to working together to challenge environmental crime & corruption #environmentaljustice #economicjustice
I'll be walking the London Legal Support Trust London #LegalWalk next week to raise funds for crucial #accesstojustice. Details on how to sponsor me and help us reach our target are below 👇Thank you.
Long awaited ruling from African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights that breaks new ground on multiple fronts (see thread). This is the first time an HR body finds violations of the rights to health, education and environment in the context of conservation-related displacement of IPs.
Credit where credit is due: Many thanks to Colin Luoma & Jennifer Castello who helped me draft the merits brief & the invaluable support of Julie Barriere, ERND (particularly Innocent Bisimwa) & Rainforest Foundation Norway (RFN) throughout the process.
And a special recognition to Lucy Claridge who filed the case before the ACHPR, obtained a favourable admissibility decision and fundraised tirelessly as MRG Legal Director to ensure this case could be pursued.
