| Video Discription | Human beings are not the only subjects who can seek protection under international human rights law. In an Advisory Opinion from 2017 and in a judgment rendered in 2020, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights indicated to include ‘Rights of Nature’ into the Inter-American system of human rights protection. The Court found that the human right to a healthy environment protects ‘as an autonomous right […] components of the environment, such as forests, rivers and seas, as legal interests in themselves, even in the absence of the certainty or evidence of a risk to individuals.’ This judicial practice mirrors a post-humanised view of rights bearers in human rights instruments. Components of the environment are obviously not human beings but nevertheless protectable in the realm of international human rights law. What type of rights bearers can ecosystems – including trees, oceans, animals, mountains – be? Are they of moral relevance as human beings are? If so, would this lead to acknowledging that they hold moral human rights? Proponents of Rights of Nature see an important commonality between human beings and nature: Stating that nature has ‘intrinsic value’ justifies nature’s moral considerability. It leads to acknowledging it as a subject of independent rights. In this ‘biocentric approach’, nature is seen as an ‘integral ecological partner’ with its own rights to exist and thrive. In the talk, Patricia Wiater discusses if non-human subjects such as nature can hold moral human rights by referring to philosophical theories on human rights as moral rights. She thereby contrasts moral human rights with international legal human rights understood as a legal-political concept. Discussant: Dr Giulia Saveja Chair: Professor Kate O'Regan |
