Environmental Victims

Considers the social justice and human rights implications of environmental disasters, arguing that perpetrators of these disasters should be held accountable and victims should have greater redress for their suffering. The contributors hold that for too long companies have been shielded from liability for industrial accidents and pollution that causes disease among local populations, and that such problems should be treated as questions of justice first, before they are considered as medical problems to be treated within the medical system.
