Abstract

The ecological crisis that has affected the Earth system as a result of globalization and capitalism has made viable the discussion about the Anthropocene, as a philosophical position in order to discuss what is the role of human beings in the relationship between humanity and the environment. For this reason, the paper has the general objective of analyzing the movement called greening for the protection of the environment from the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, precisely with the study of two precedents, the Advisory Opinion 23/2017 and the judgment of the Nuestra Tierra Case, in order to demonstrate that the contribution of international courts is indispensable for the realization of human rights. The article has the specific objective of analyzing the intrinsic relationship between human rights and the environment through the deductive method, using the mentioned judicial precedents to reach the conclusion that the international society of the global order has an intergenerational responsibility to ensure the protection of the environment as a fundamental human right. The paper will also address the idea that the ecological crisis stems from the Anthropocene and that there is a need to humanize this aspect of the evolution of the Earth system, in addition to advocating the harmonization between anthropocentrism and ecocentrism in order to provide sustainable development.
