Absolutely! Paul, you are on the right track.
1] The right-to-know about environmental and public health hazards.
2] The right-to-inspect hazardous conditions with one's own technical experts.
3] The right to negotiate enforceable hazard prevention agreements (i.e., "good neighbor" agreements).
4] The right-to-petition for public hearings by government agencies.
This four points are critical to multi-lateral involvement, as you put it...and would help give some leverage to grass roots groups when approaching government/industry about the quality of life issues surrounding environmental issues.-Claudia
