📢 We stand for corporate accountability! Latest from the Business, Human Rights & Environment Desk of @fidh-official.bsky.social #BizHumanRights fidh.org
In Kenya, communities living on ancestral land are being sidelined by conservancies — denied their rights, silenced, and left without access to justice.
Land registration is the first step to dignity, autonomy & protection.

#Kenya: Pastoralist communities report being displaced, harassed & denied access to grazing land by conservancies operating under the Northern Rangelands Trust.
Those who speak out face threats, intimidation & lawsuits.

1/ ⚖️ A groundbreaking moment for climate justice!
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a landmark advisory opinion on climate change, affirming that everyone has a human right to a healthy environment.
A new legal compass has been set. 🧵
"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 litigation campaign #SeeYouInCourt!

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 👇

11 militants anti-EACOP ont été arrêtés en voulant déposer une lettre au siège de la banque KCB. Ils sont incarcérés depuis avril en attente d’un jugement.
En Ouganda, initier ce type d’action peut exposer de lourdes conséquences, comme la FIDH a documenté:

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 change is destroying entire ways of life & causing unprecedented violations of human rights.
In one week, an #ICJ advisory opinion could pave the way for climate reparations, accountability & long-overdue protections.
Let's demand climate action that is real, fair & enforceable!
#Palestine is a mirror held up to the world’s moral & political failures.
Ending this genocide requires not only outrage but rupture, reckoning & the courage to dismantle what enables it - urges UN Special Rapporteur @franceskalbs.bsky.social in her new report.

Our campaign showed up in force at the #SB52 UN Climate Conference — joined by Elisa Morgera!
European states must do their homework too & start negotiations as soon as possible at the @coe.int to legally protect the right to a healthy environment! Their credibility is at play.

Une vingtaine d’associations et syndicats, dont la FIDH, dénoncent la vague de dérégulation environnementale et sociale en cours en Europe via la directive Omnibus I.
Elles exigent que la voix de la société civile et l’avis des Français·es soient entendus.

Legally protecting the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll means saving lives—and strengthening the rights of people with disabilities.
@greenrightsco.bsky.social's @andreadpaulus.bsky.social
urges @coe.int to start work on a protocol to the ECHR to make a difference.
But the right to a healthy environment is far from being fully protected & respected worldwide.

#WorldEnvironmentDay: do you know the right to a healthy environment?
Officially recognised by the UN General Assembly, it is fundamental to the enjoyment of all human rights.
It is meant to protect people & their rights in the face of climate breakdown, biodiversity loss & pollution.
