Sentenza storica nei confronti di due agenzie di credito all’export statunitensi accusate di aver finanziato progetti per l’estrazione di combustibili fossili senza aver valutato i loro impatti sul surriscaldamento globale. Intanto in Costa Rica si è tenuto, con un affluenza poco sopra il 20%, il referendum contro il progetto di costruzione di una centrale idroelettrica lungo il fiume Pacuare. E proprio dal Costa Rica è partito dieci anni fa un progetto per estendere l’uso della tecnologia delle biomasse che si è diffuso in tutto il centro america. Con l’ultimo rapporto Onu sui temi dell’ambiente intitolato “La differenza sostenibile” si lancia un forte allarme visto che la maggior parte delle nazioni non ha ancora integrato energia e ambiente nei propri programmi di sviluppo e nelle strategie di riduzione della povertà.

La costante incapacità dei governi del Bangladesh di fermare le uccisioni di coloro che s’impegnano nella promozione dei diritti umani ha favorito l’aumento di tali crimini in un clima di totale impunità. Lo denuncia Amnesty International in un rapporto pubblicato oggi, dal titolo “Bangladesh: difensori dei diritti umani sotto attacco”. Il rapporto denuncia gli arresti arbitrari, la tortura e le accuse immotivate che colpiscono chi osa prendere la parola sulle violazioni dei diritti umani nel paese.

La Iveco ha querelato il proprio partner in Cina, la Changzhou Changjiang Bus Group Co., per la sottrazione di 15 milioni di dollari. La compagnia italiana ha accusato l'azienda, con la quale ha una joint venture al 50%, di appropriazione indebita di oltre 122 milioni di yuan (più di 12 milioni di euro) e ha annunciato di aver bloccato la produzione di veicoli industriali. "Questa vicenda ha anche un involontario aspetto positivo: potrà finalmente fermare la vendita di veicoli Daily Iveco ai tribunali cinesi che sono utilizzati come camere mobili di esecuzioni delle condanne a morte" - dichiara Amnesty International. Nel dicembre 2003 la Sezione Italiana di Amnesty International aveva scritto alla Fiat segnalando le inaccettabili violazioni dei diritti umani connesse alla vendita dei propri furgoni Daily. La direzione dell’azienda torinese si era limitata a replicare che non era in grado di verificare l’uso dei propri veicoli commerciali da parte dell’acquirente.
