« Nous saluons l'adoption par l'ASEAN d'une déclaration régionale historique sur le droit à un environnement sain. La déclaration a été annoncée aujourd'hui, après avoir été adoptée dimanche lors du sommet de l'ASEAN à Kuala Lumpur, en Malaisie », a déclaré l'orateur des droits de l'homme de l'ONU, Jeremy Laurence.
« La Déclaration de l'ASEAN sur le droit à un environnement sûr, propre, sain et durable marque une étape essentielle en avant en tant que dernière affirmation régionale du droit à un environnement sain à travers l'Asie du Sud-Est », a déclaré Laurence.
« Le Haut-Commissaire aux droits de l'homme, Volker Türk, appelle les États de l'ASEAN à s'appuyer sur la déclaration pour garantir un leadership coordonné et une action rapide afin de traiter les dommages environnementaux transfrontaliers. Ceux-ci incluent le changement climatique, la pollution des sols, de l'eau et de l'air, et devraient inclure la participation significative des personnes les plus touchées, y compris les femmes, les jeunes et les peuples autochtones. Il souligne également la nécessité particulière d'assurer la protection effective des défenseurs des droits de l'homme environnementaux et de leur travail essentiel », a déclaré Laurence lors du point de presse bihebdomadaire à Genève.

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk on 29 May called for more robust measures by both states and tech companies to make online platforms safer for children, insisting on effective regulation, oversight and accountability. The digital world that connects children to learning, community and creativity also expose them to real risks, to their safety, to their privacy, and to their well-being. Online harms to kids’ safety, privacy, and well-being are not innate or inevitable.
