« 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.
