Resumo

este artigo analisa a recente Opinião Consultiva da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos sobre o Meio Ambiente e os Direitos Humanos e sustenta que constitui um marco que reorienta efetivamente o direito ambiental internacional. O artigo está dividido como segue: em primeiro lugar, analisa os aspectos mais destacados da Opinião Consultiva, entre outros (1) O direito a um meio ambiente saudável como direito vinculante; (2) A opinião Consultiva como um marco no desenvolvimento gradual da jurisprudência internacional sobre as obrigações de direitos humanos transnacionais (ou “diagonais”) (é dizer, a possibilidade de que os indivíduos que não estejam sob a jurisdição territorial do Estado apresente demandas de direitos humanos cuja responsabilidade internacional por danos ambientais invoca-se). Em segundo lugar, o artigo contextualiza a Opinião Consultiva ao analisar o que consideramos quatro vetores chave que afetam atualmente a trajetória do desenvolvimento em curso do direito ambiental internacional, e como os avanços logrados na Opinião Consultiva encaixam com esses desenvolvimentos. Em terceiro lugar, põe à Opinião Consultiva no contexto mais amplo dos desenvolvimentos que se dirigem à uma reorientação necessária no direito ambiental internacional, em particular: a integração (ou desfragmentação) do direito internacional, a operacionalização dos princípios ambientais nas normas legais no nível prático e um foco em remédios. Se argumenta que enquanto o mundo experimenta a pressão por normas de direito meio ambiental mais efetivas e com consequências legais se são violadas, exemplos de pensamentos mais sofisticados e inovadores em matéria de direito do meio ambiente atual, vêm emanando dos países do hemisfério sul, como o confirma a Opinião Consultiva.
