DoomsdaysCWWhy is violence against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalDefenders</a> getting worse? Five things to knowMaxwell Radwin 11 Sep 2024"In January 2023, two men mysteriously disappear after speaking out against pollution from a controversial iron ore mine in Michoacán, Mexico."The following March, climate change protesters in Austria and Germany are beaten and pepper sprayed, and some have their homes raided by law enforcement."In September, a pair of youth environmental advocates are abducted by armed men and interrogated for days about their work fighting construction of a new airport in the Philippines."All across the world, environmental defenders continue to experience censorship, threats, physical attacks, kidnappings, disappearances and even death because of their work fighting climate change, deforestation, pollution and other environmental issues."Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, more than 1,500 environmental defenders have been killed for their work, according to Global Witness, a human rights and environmental NGO. The figures for 2023 look like more of the same. At least 196 people were killed last year defending the environment, up from 177 in 2022. And those figures are considered a low-end estimate."Read more: <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2024/09/why-is-violence-against-environmental-defenders-getting-worse-five-things-to-know/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.mongabay.com/2024/09/why-is-violence-against-environmental-defenders-getting-worse-five-things-to-know/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalActivists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalActivists</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterDefenders</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalJustice</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GlobalWitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalWitness</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mongabay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mongabay</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReaderSupportedNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReaderSupportedNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IACHR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IACHR</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtractiveIndustries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExtractiveIndustries</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Logging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Logging</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandDefenders</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Greed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Greed</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Corruption</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LatinAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LatinAmerica</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Phillipines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Phillipines</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#India</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indonesia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indonesia</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Honduras" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Honduras</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DemocraticRepublicOfCongo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DemocraticRepublicOfCongo</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicOrderAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicOrderAct</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SilencingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HR9495" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HR9495</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriminalizingDissent</a>

He was in his car after attending a religious event at a local Catholic church when an unidentified hitman shot him multiple times. Due to previous death threats and harassment linked to his defense of the Guapinol River, López had received precautionary measures from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), the same measures that failed to protect fellow environmental defender Berta Cáceres from being killed in 2016."López’s assassination has sent shockwaves through the region, a chilling reminder of the violence and impunity that threaten environmental activists across Latin America and globally. His murder also reflects a disturbing pattern of attacks on those who dare to challenge economic and political powers in Honduras, a country that consistently ranks as one of the most dangerous in the world for environmental activists. These risks are especially pronounced in highly militarized areas like the Aguán Valley, where López lived, a resource-rich epicenter of land grabs and conflicts along the north coast. Dozens of Aguán environmental defenders have been systematically targeted, threatened, and murdered for more than a decade.In 2023, 18 environmental defenders were killed in Honduras, the highest number per capita of any country in the world, according to Global Witness. Among the victims were three fellow Guapinol defenders: Aly Magdaleno Domínguez Ramos, Jairo Bonilla Ayala, and Oquelí Domínguez Ramos. In López’s case, authorities have arrested the alleged hitman and an accomplice."The Honduran state’s failure to protect López despite IACHR protective measures speaks to the broader issue of impunity and lack of political will to safeguard those who defend natural resources and human rights in the face of powerful economic interests. His murder also highlights systemic corruption, recently laid bare by scandals involving drug traffickers and high-profile political figures. In short, López’s assassination is part of a wider global crisis of relentless violence and persecution targeting activists who stand up to mining, logging, and other extractive industries."Read more / support: <a href="https://www.rsn.org/001/the-deadly-fight-for-environmental-justice-in-honduras.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.rsn.org/001/the-deadly-fight-for-environmental-justice-in-honduras.html</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReaderSupportedNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReaderSupportedNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IACHR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IACHR</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtractiveIndustries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExtractiveIndustries</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Logging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Logging</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandDefenders</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GuapinolRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuapinolRiver</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BertaC%C3%A1ceres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BertaCáceres</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlyMagdaleno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlyMagdaleno</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dom%C3%ADnguezRamos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DomínguezRamos</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JairoBonillaAyala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JairoBonillaAyala</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oquel%C3%ADDom%C3%ADnguezRamo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OquelíDomínguezRamo</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Greed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Greed</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Corruption</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a>

Peaceful demonstrations are a catalyst for the advancement of human rights. Yet around the world governments are criminalizing dissent and suppressing public <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protest</a>, often as a means to protect <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateInterests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateInterests</a>. In this context, indigenous peoples increasingly find themselves as the subjects of arrests, criminal prosecution and police violence when defending the lands they rely upon for their existence and survival from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResourceExtraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResourceExtraction</a> by industries who are operating without the free prior and informed consent of the affected communities.2. This report is submitted to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IACHR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IACHR</a>) in conjunction with a thematic hearing held during the 172nd period of sessions. At the hearing, Commissioners heard directly from those involved in the indigenous-led resistance to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DakotaAccessPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DakotaAccessPipeline</a> (DAPL) at Standing Rock, North Dakota. This report addresses the criminalization and suppression of protest by indigenous human rights defenders and their allies by United States (U.S.) federal, state and local governments, working hand-in-hand with private security forces [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blackwater</a>], specifically in relation to the construction and operation of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DAPL</a> by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyTransfer</a> Partners and Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and the connected <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BayouBridgePipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BayouBridgePipeline</a> (collectively the “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BakkenPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BakkenPipeline</a>”).3. Standing Rock is an emblematic case of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousResistance</a> to extractive industry that drew attention from around the world as water protectors met on the banks of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MissouriRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MissouriRiver</a> in peaceful assembly in what was the largest gathering of indigenous peoples in the U.S. in 100 years. Standing Rock is merely one example of how the U.S. government works with industry to approve energy projects carried out without the meaningful participation or consent of indigenous nations. Indigenous peoples are left with no choice but to peacefully protest and then are criminalized for their efforts to defend their lands and resources.4. Since Standing Rock, there has been an alarming trend by the United States government and state legislatures to criminalize opposition to pipelines and other energy projects. These <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiProtest</a> and so-called “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriticalInfrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriticalInfrastructure</a> laws” progress towards criminalizing dissent and implicitly condone the use of excessive force towards human rights defenders, often including indigenous peoples and their allies who are at the forefront of resistance to extractive industries. As the international community has acknowledged, these laws are incompatible with domestic and international law. The governments’ use of excessive force and mass arrests to threaten, intimidate, and silence “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterProtectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterProtectors</a>” seeking to defend their lands, resources, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#culture</a>, and the collusion with private security forces, violate fundamental human rights to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> and Aassembly enshrined in international human rights law and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USConstitution</a>.5.

In addition, the United Nations has reported on the situation at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandingRock</a> through the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of of indigenous peoples. Despite condemnation from these international bodies and mechanisms, water protectors continue to suffer impacts from the criminalization of their dissent, while the United States moves forward permitting new <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pipeline</a> projects on indigenous territories.Read more: <a href="https://law.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/FINAL%20IPLP-WPLC%20Report%20to%20IACHR%20-%206-24-19.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://law.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/FINAL%20IPLP-WPLC%20Report%20to%20IACHR%20-%206-24-19.pdf</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HR9495" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HR9495</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopHR9495" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopHR9495</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriminalizingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Authoritanism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CharacteristicsOfFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigOilAndGas</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ErikPrince</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrinceColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ErikPrinceColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blackwater</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandWithStandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandWithStandingRock</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoMiningWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoMiningWithoutConsent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoDAPL</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockSioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StandingRockSioux</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandDefenders</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterDefenders</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterProtectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterProtectors</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefendTheSacred</a>
