Studying maritime conventions to unveil arms trade? UN treaties to trace pesticides? Kristof Clerix from Belgian news magazine Knack was investigating international arms trade. Obviously arms were transported by sea. So he set out to study international maritime conventions, because there must be a paper trail? There was! The second speaker is Staffan Dahllöf, freelance journalist publishing in Denmark and Sweden. Along with a European team he investigated pesticides causing brain damages in children - clearly an environmental problem. He used the international convention of access to environmental information and ended up filing a complaint against the state of Sweden.
