<strong>Environmental</strong> crime<br />

and human rights<br />

<strong>Crime</strong>s against humanity?<br />

“A human action that causes great harm to a lot<br />

of people over a long period of time”<br />

“At the end of the day, these crimes start at a specific spot under<br />

the jurisdiction of a specific local authority. The local authorities<br />

need to have a fully functioning system to prepare for them.<br />

They need monitoring systems, assessment, emergency<br />

response and a solution.”<br />
