Justiça Socioambiental e Direitos Humanos

uma análise a partir dos direitos territoriais de povos e comunidades tradicionais, written by Eliane Cristina Pinto Moreira

Abstract

This review seeks to highlight the main points of Eliane Cristina Pinto Moreira's work. The prosecutor, through the Postgraduate Program in Law at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), sought to present the importance of recognizing a legal and political space for the affirmation of traditional peoples and communities as actors of socio-environmental justice. In order to develop this analysis, a reflection on the place of Social and Environmental Justice in the debate on Human Rights is presented, especially with regard to the Inter-American Human Rights System (ISHR). This is because the work uses cases that have passed through the Inter-American Court (IACHR) that address, in a superficial or in-depth way, issues of socio-environmental rights, focusing on collective territories. It was noticed that with Socio-Environmental Justice the pluri-ethnic character of collective rights related to the environment has been gaining space. At the same time, the importance of the IACHR as a vehicle for the protection of collective rights is increasingly notable, gradually becoming a system that recognizes the multi-ethnic and multicultural character of the Americas. Finally, this review seeks to highlight the main idea of ​​the work, namely, the fact that indigenous activism opened the doors of the IAHRS to the postulation of other groups. This result represents a new place for the defense of collective rights, a new jurisprudence to be accessed in defense of Traditional Peoples and Communities
