Résumé :
[en] Debates surrounding environmental protection and its intersection with human rights have gained significant traction in the past decade, coinciding with the advancement of decolonial thought across political, academic and social spheres. These discussions and agendas have become intertwined as humanity faces unprecedented threats to essential global ecosystems while indigenous peoples and traditional black communities, often the primary stewards of the environment, seek emancipation from historical violence. This dynamic struggle between resilience and violence, along with the link between nature and human rights, is also evident within the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Drawing upon decolonial insights and employing a dialectical method, our analysis aims to scrutinize the Court’s jurisprudence to understand its approach concerning the connection between human and environmental rights. [es] Los debates en torno a la protección ambiental y su intersección con los derechos humanos han cobrado una relevancia significativa en la última década, coincidiendo con el avance del pensamiento decolonial en ámbitos políticos, académicos y sociales. Estas discusiones y agendas se han entrelazado a medida que la humanidad enfrenta amenazas sin precedentes a los ecosistemas globales esenciales, mientras que los pueblos indígenas y las comunidades negras tradicionales, a menudo los principales guardianes del medio ambiente, buscan emanciparse de la violencia histórica. Esta intrincada y dinámica lucha entre la violencia y la resiliencia, junto con el nexo entre la naturaleza y los derechos humanos, también se refleja dentro de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. Basándonos en las perspectivas decoloniales y empleando un método dialéctico, nuestro análisis tiene como objetivo examinar la jurisprudencia de la Corte para comprender su enfoque en relación con la conexión entre los derechos humanos y ambientales.
