description
This article examines the interconnections between environmental issues and the protection of human rights, in a process that began in the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 1972) and has been developed by the greening of the regional human rights systems. In the Inter-American system the article 11 of the Additional Protocol to the American Convention on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1988 — the Protocol of San Salvador — guarantees the right to a healthy environment. However the American Convention (on its arts. 3-25, 44-51 and 61-69) and its Additional Protocol (on its arts. 8, 13 and 19.6) only allow the submission of individual petitions to the Inter-American Commission and the possible acting of the Inter-American Court, in complaints containing alleged violations of civil and political rights, trade union rights and the right to education. Despite the lack of devices that are capable to ensure an effective protection to the right to a healthy environment, by itself, the Inter-American Court has demonstrated the greening of the human rights, which means, in other words, that it is quite possible to protect environmental issues by the demonstration of its interconnections with civil and political rights that are directly protected by the inter-American system. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the contributions of the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court in the strengthening of the civil and political rights in cases related to environmental issues.

En el sistema interamericano el artículo 11 del Protocolo Adicional a la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales de 1988 —el Protocolo de San Salvador— garantiza el derecho al medio ambiente sano. Ocurre que dispositivos de la Convención Americana (arts. 3 a 25, 44 a 51 y 61 a 69) y de su Protocolo Adicional (arts. 8, 13 y 19.6) solamente permiten a la Comisión Interamericana y, cuando proceda, a la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, recibir quejas o peticiones que contengan denuncias de violaciónes de los derechos civiles y políticos, de los derechos sindicales y del derecho a la educación.A pesar de la ausencia de dispositivos capaces de garantizar una protección directa al derecho a um medio ambiente sano, la Corte Interamericana ha demonstrado que es posible producir el “greening” de los derechos humanos, o sea, hacer interrelaciones entre temas ambientales y derechos directamente protegidos por el sistema interamericano. Por eso, es necesario comprender las aportaciones de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana en el fortalecimiento de la protección de los derechos civiles y políticos en los casos relativos a cuestiones ambientales.2014text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5191047(Revista) ISSN 1390-7794(Revista) ISSN 1390-440XIus Humani: Revista de Derecho, ISSN 1390-440X, Nº. 4, 2014, pags. 193-226spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
