When environmental harm crosses borders, who can be held responsible?
Asean has had a regional agreement on transboundary haze since 2002, and signed the Asean Declaration on the Right to a Safe, Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment last year.
So why are people still exposed to haze pollution they did not cause? Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris talks to Dr Matthew Baird, the director of the Asian Research Institute for Environmental Law (Ariel), and Charlie Albajili, the programme offficer on access to justice, and business and human rights at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute (RWI) Asia Pacific.
