Environmental Action Group Takes State to Court
The private Action Group Milieudefensie (Defense of the Environment)
has taken the Dutch Government to Court. The group claims that due to air
pollution every year many thousands of people die thirteen
months earlier than necessary. The group demands that within six months every location
in the Netherlands has to meet European norms of air quality. Milieudefensie
says that basic human rights are transgressed because it is already known for
decades that air pollution affects the average ago of Dutchmen.
