Economic Human Rights Project "Economic rights ARE human rights"
		An initiative of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise in cooperation with the Congress of Racial Equality. Paul Driessen, Director.

Environmental Issues Roundtable
May 7, 2004
Strat@comm Communications, Washington, DC

Driessen spoke to local business leaders about Corporate Social Responsibility and eco-imperialism.

“Today, American and European activists can afford to oppose DDT. They live in wealthy, malaria-free societies. But their inhumane anti-pesticide policies against poor countries mean hundreds of thousands of children and parents die every year who would live, if their countries could also use DDT…. Supporting anti-DDT policies is not moral, ethical or socially responsible. It is a violation of these people’s most basic human rights. ”
