Good evening to you all.
I would like to thank the Standing Committee on the Environment and Sustainable Development for inviting us to participate in this study.
Ms. Amélie Delage, who is also a member of the International Observatory on Nature's Rights, and I are honoured to have been invited.
I am a lawyer, a doctor of water law, an expert member and participant in the United Nations' “Harmony with Nature” initiative. I am also president of the observatory.
