Earth Rights International is a non governmental, non profit group of people which includes lawyers, activists and organizers who stand for earth rights.  They specialize in fact finding, legal actions against perpetrators of earth rights abuses, training common people about their earth rights and remedies, and advocacy campaigns from local to international level.  Following these strategies, EarthRights International seeks to end earth rights abuses.  They are at the forefront of the movement to hold corporations accountable for fair human rights, labor and environmental practices.
