WHAT WE DO

The Zero Tolerance Initiative (ZTI) is a global coalition led by indigenous peoples and local community representatives working collectively to address the root causes of killings and violence against human rights defenders linked to global supply chains.

 

The ZTI works around three strategic areas to address this issue. It aims to improve public policies and corporate practices for effective zero tolerance policies against the reprisals of environmental human rights defenders. Additionally, the initiative is dedicated to sharing knowledge on the collective protection of Indigenous peoples and communities at risk. At the same time, it works to build global solidarity, fostering connections and support across borders.

OUR VALUES

  • ZTI is led by rightsholders.

  • ZTI upholds the principles of the Geneva Declaration.

  • ZTI actions reflect the priorities and needs of indigenous peoples, rural and Afro-descendent organisations and communities, defenders of human rights and the global environment.

  • ZTI does not seek to run its own campaigns or occupy the space of others but rather coordinates, catalyzes and connects, ensuring that different work within the coalition includes strong engagement and representation from rights holders.

  • ZTI measures its own success by effectiveness in making members of the network and the wider movement stronger and more successful in addressing the root causes of killings and violence in international supply chains.

  • ZTI communications are in English, Spanish and French.

"If we are going to save the planet, we have to stop killing and criminalising the people who protect it."
