Projet d’Enbridge et sa ligne 5 : l’ONU derrière les Autochtones
AI Article Summary

The United Nations is backing Indigenous groups opposing the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline project, challenging its safety and environmental risks. The pipeline, which is over 70 years old, runs under the Straits of Mackinac and is seen as a threat to the Great Lakes and Indigenous rights. Enbridge plans to encase the pipeline in a protective tunnel, but this approach has never been tested before and faces legal opposition. Indigenous leaders and environmental groups are calling for the pipeline's closure, citing international and legal obligations to Indigenous peoples.
