Human Rights at Sea launches 'Death at Sea' documentary

Uncovering the Truth HRAS Launches Powerful Documentary 'Death at Sea'

As we commemorate the 73rd anniversary of Human Rights Day, Human Rights at Sea (HRAS) marks this occasion by releasing a powerful documentary, Death at Sea, which sheds light on the tragic murder of Eritara Aati Kaierua, a fisheries inspector who was brutally killed in Nauru. This compelling film serves as a testament to the failures in state-level investigations and the struggles faced by those working at sea.

The documentary's release is particularly significant given the European Union's (EU) recent efforts to dismantle the Due Diligence Directive, which would hold European companies accountable for human rights violations and environmental degradation in their value chains. This move sends a chilling message about the EU's commitment to upholding fundamental rights and protecting the welfare of those who work at sea.

Eritara's story is just one of many that highlights the dangers faced by fisheries inspectors and observers who are tasked with monitoring fishing practices and ensuring compliance with regulations. These individuals often find themselves in conflict with crew members on the vessels they inspect, making their jobs extremely perilous.

The investigation into Eritara's murder has raised more questions than answers, with concerns surrounding the initial findings and the subsequent release of the impounded fishing vessel. His family is still seeking justice for his tragic death, which serves as a reminder of the urgent need to protect the rights and welfare of those working at sea.

As HRAS continues its campaign for justice and accountability, this powerful documentary stands as a poignant reminder of the importance of holding those responsible for human rights violations accountable. The organization's commitment to shedding light on these issues is crucial in ensuring that Eritara's story, and those of all the fisheries observers who have disappeared or been mistreated at sea, will not be forgotten.

The Death at Sea documentary is a call to action, urging individuals and organizations to demand justice for victims like Eritara and to push for reforms that prioritize the safety and well-being of those working at sea. It is our hope that this film will inspire change and serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of human rights and dignity for all.

What's Next?

HRAS has pledged to continue its campaign for justice and accountability, using the Death at Sea documentary as a tool to raise awareness about the dangers faced by fisheries inspectors and observers. The organization is calling on individuals and organizations to join them in their efforts to demand justice for Eritara and all those who have been affected by human rights violations at sea.
