OAS and Dominican Republic agree to bolster the enforcement of environmental protection laws
June 13, 2016
OAS
The Organization of American States (OAS) and the Supreme Court of Justice of the Dominican Republic today signed a cooperation agreement to strengthen the enforcement of environmental protection laws. The signing ceremony took place on the occasion of the hemispheric organization’s General Assembly, which opens in Santo Domingo this evening.
“Environmental law means the right to exist on Earth that we all enjoy, but it also means our shared obligation to ensure that the environment and the planet are protected so that we can all continue to live there,” said Mariano Mejía, the President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Dominican Republic.
In turn, OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro said that, “involving judiciaries in the protection of the common cause of which you spoke, bearing in mind the ethics of the vulnerability of the planet and its people, is key in ensuring the expansion of rights for ever greater numbers of people in the Americas.”
The initiative is part of the “Caring for our common home: Guaranteeing more rights for more people in the Americas” program, which is supported by 24 countries of the Americas and is being carried out by the OAS Department of Sustainable Development through the Inter-American Judicial Training Program on the Environmental Rule of Law. The agreement signed today provides for the implementation of the program in the Dominican Republic, starting in 2017.
