ECh used as a reference in a conflict between India and The Netherlands
In a very delicate case of conflict of interest between the governments of India and The Netherlands, where Ruud Lubbers and Ashok Khosla acted as “mediators” since mid December 2007 until the end of January 2008, the Earth Charter was used as a reference and they finally came to the following conclusion: in consultation with local Indian organizations and unions, an ombudsperson in Bangalore will be appointed.
