Professor Eric Dannenmaier gave the keynote address at the North American Commission on Environmental Cooperation workshop in Mexico City.  His address on “Citizen Enforcement under NAFTA” opened the workshop, which is designed to advance public interest advocacy on environmental matters among the three NAFTA countries. The North American Commission on Environmental Cooperation (CEC) was created by the United States, Canada, and Mexico as part of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to help address environmental concerns associated with the trade pact. Professor Dannenmaier has been engaged with the CEC for many years as an advocate, advisor, and researcher - working to ensure that environmental issues associated with trade are addressed and that the citizen access mechanisms of NAFTA are effective. He was the lead attorney in the first Citizen Submission to the CEC after its creation (in re Silva Reservoir) and has since advised the Commission on its public participation procedures and authored a study on the CEC’s Public Advisory Committees as part of a ten-year review of the trade deal. Dannenmaier’s participation in the Mexico City workshop represents his latest effort to keep the public engaged in addressing the environmental impacts of international trade. The November 12 workshop, entitled “Environmental Law Education: A Clinical Approach,” was designed to advance the “citizen submissions on enforcement matters” process under the NAFTA Environmental Side Agreement and to raise awareness of the opportunities for developing environmental law clinics within Mexican universities that might engage in environmental advocacy before the Commission.
