Climate Justice, Racial Justice, & Regional Human Rights Systems
La crisis ecológica global es una crisis de justicia racial y una crisis de injusticia colonial histórica. Nuestro trabajo en Justicia Climática, Justicia Racial y Sistemas Regionales de Derechos Humanos pone la lucha anticolonial y de justicia racial en el centro del trabajo legal, político y académico para combatir la degradación ambiental, el cambio climático y el desplazamiento relacionado. Nos esforzamos por romper los silos que impiden una colaboración transnacional significativa entre los movimientos por la justicia racial, climática y de migrantes. Esta iniciativa está dirigida por S. Priya Morley, quien está basada en el Bernstein Institute for Human Rights de la Facultad de Derecho de NYU desde 2024.
Our work aims to support and collaborate with impacted communities and movement leaders to producing knowledge that brings attention to the global ecological crisis as a site of historic and ongoing injustice, and who have an interest in challenging this injustice through international legal frameworks. To further this work, we have engaged with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) and Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), and UN Special Procedures and anti-racism mechanisms.
Following the recent climate advisory opinions of the IACtHR and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), our current focus is developments in the African human rights system, as where the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (AfCHPR) is seized with a climate advisory opinion.
