<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 />
