The Council of the EU's proposed changes to previously agreed laws like the #CSDDD would weaken corporate accountability for abuses to people & the planet. FIDH warns lawmakers about the serious impacts these amendments would have on sustainability norms:

"The case before the #ICJ is part of a growing global movement turning to courts to hold polluters accountable, [including a lawsuit] by a Belgian farmer against TotalEnergies.".FIDH proudly supports the #FarmerCase as part of its campaign #SeeYouInCourt! .

A landmark legal ruling leaves no doubt that continuing fossil fuel production and use, let alone expanding it, violates the law.

Historic #ICJ opinion: States have binding human rights obligations to act on climate—and failing to do so is an “internationally wrongful act”!. FIDH welcomes this legal milestone & major step for climate justice, inspired by the tireless Pacific youth 👇.

In a groundbreaking advisory opinion, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights recognised the right to a healthy climate as a component of the right to a healthy environment. It had already recognised the latter in 2017. Time for the Council of Europe to catch up!.
Climate justice win! @IACourtHR elaborates legal obligations around a healthy climate as part of the right to a healthy environment. Meanwhile @coe still debates whether it should recognise it. Our answer? YES - we urge the Council to adopt a protocol to the European Convention!

Climate change is destroying entire ways of life & causing unprecedented human rights violations. In one week, an #ICJ advisory opinion could pave the way for climate reparations, accountability & long-overdue protections. Let's demand real, fair & enforceable climate action!
