What a pleasure to have @juanauz.bsky.social with us at HSU Hamburg to discuss the IACtHR advisory opinion as it connects to the lives, material realities, and fights of social movements in LatAm, especially of indigenous communities. Thank you so much for the brilliant and thought-provoking talk!

Thanks to comrades at @cailesil.bsky.social for inviting us to connect the legal responses to the genocide in Gaza with our own research. It was an important space to identify the possibilities the law might entail for liberation.

Is there any complementarity between the ICJ's and the IACtHR's advisory opinions on climate change? I argue there is, specifically on attribution, causation, and remedies, albeit from specific approaches.

The ICJ just opened the floodgates for international climate litigation.
Now is the time when every single climate-vulnerable state must file a lawsuit against the imperialist fossil fuels axis, namely the US, the UK, OPEC countries, Norway, etc.

Folks are excited about the groundbreaking Inter-American Court’s Advisory Opinion.
It declares that the prohibition of significant environmental harm is jus cogens.
However, do you know what other prohibition is also a jus cogens norm and has been for a long time? Genocide!
How is that going?

The Inter-American Court just issued its advisory opinion on the climate emergency, and it is PATHBREAKING!
It recognizes the rights:
- to a safe climate
- of Nature
- And environmental protection as jus cogens!
Europe: No to a right to a healthy environment, and we are complicit in genocide 🫠

Climate activists who refuse to integrate anti-genocide and anti-imperialist dimensions in their political discourse and praxis because “it is unrelated” are not safe from fascism.
