Os conflitos ambientais transnacionais e a corte interamericana de direitos humanos

Abstract

This monograph aims to analyze the need to resolve transnational conflicts that have occurred as a result of human activity in pursuit of technological development, especially in the production of hydroelectric power in countries that make up the International Amazon. The Jirau and Santo Antônio hydroelectric plants, built on the Madeira River in Rondônia, Brazil, also affect the population of Bolivia, given that the damming of the waters has consequences in both countries. The objective of this monograph is to discuss the role of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and suggest the possibility of expanding its jurisdiction to the knowledge and judgment of transnational environmental conflicts. Starting from a general premise, logical reasoning is then applied to provide specific arguments and evidence to support this statement or theory. To this end, the deductive and argumentative approach method, the bibliographic research source, the techniques of referent, category, operational concept and filing will be used.
