Desplazamiento climático en México y justicia ambiental crítica: hacia una nueva línea de investigación

  Para 2050, más de tres millones de personas serán desplazados forzados en México por los impactos del cambio climático. Este artículo aborda los riesgos inherentes a la vulnerabilidad y resiliencia enfocándose en el caso de los pueblos indígenas y en el peligro de encapsularlos a víctimas pasivas sin agencia. Es así que en este artículo se analiza el potencial de su participación, el cual actualmente se encuentra limitado respecto al diseño e implementación de los instrumentos internacionales y regionales que garantizan el derecho a la consulta, al mismo tiempo que se identifica el potencial de la justicia ambiental crítica, manifiesta en la creciente reivindicación que los pueblos indígenas han hecho de su derecho a la autoconsulta como una vía para ser actores del cambio.

Testing limited environmental liability against human rights requirements. IES WORKING PAPER 3/2009

Questions regarding oil spills remain high on the political agenda. Legal scholars, legislators as well as the international, European and national Courts struggle to determine key issues, such as who is to be held liable for oil spills, under which conditions and for which damage. The international regime on oil spills was meant to establish an “equilibrium” between the needs of the victims (being compensated for their harm) and the needs of the economic actors (being able to continue their activities). There is, however, a constantly increasing array of legal scholars’ work that criticizes the regime. Indeed, the victims of a recent oil spill, the Erika, have tried to escape the international regime on oil spills and to rely instead on the provisions of national criminal law or EC waste legislation. In parallel, the EC legislator has questioned the sufficiency of the international regime, as it has started preparing legislative acts of its own. One can in fact wonder whether challenging the international liability regime with the European Convention on Human Rights could prove to be a way forward, both for the EC regulators as well as the victims of oil spills. This paper claims that the right to property, as enshrined in Article P1-1 of the Human Rights Convention, could be used to challenge the limited environmental liability provisions of the international frameworks
