Equateur : plaintes acceptées contre Dyncorp, l’épandeur d’herbicide anti-cocaïne

Le 22 mai dernier, un premier round juridique a été remporté quand la Cour du district de Floride a reconnu trois plaintes équatoriennes contre la société aérienne américaine Dyncorp, qui asperge l’herbicide sur les champs illicites de coca colombiens... La Cour a d’ailleurs jugé que ces trois plaintes des gouvernements des provinces frontalières de Sucumbios, Esmeralda et Carchi pour obtenir des « indemnités pour les dommages économiques, à la santé et à l’environnement » seront jugées à la Cour du district de Colombia... Le rapporteur spécial de l’Organisation des Nations Unies dépêché en mai pour enquêter sur la situation des paysans frontaliers avait déclaré à son retour qu’il fallait « stopper ces fumigations ».
