Law weakens accountability and fails to protect victims or environment from Chlordécone pollution. | The law significantly weakens accountability for Chlordécone pollution in the Antilles by diluting state responsibility and denying victims' claims for anxiety harm. It also fails to mandate soil decontamination or new compensation, prioritizing institutional avoidance over environmental and public health protections. This represents a clear regression in rights and sustainability frameworks.
