• Resumen

  • Aquest article sosté que el desenvolupament progressiu dels drets i les obligacions relacionades amb les Avaluacions d’Impacte Ambiental (AIA) ofereix una perspectiva particularment valuosa per entendre la consolidació i transformació de la jurisprudència ambiental de la Cort Interamericana de Drets Humans. Per tal de traçar l'evolució jurisprudencial de les AIA, el treball revisa les aportacions de sis casos contenciosos entre 2007 i 2023, dividits en dues fases, abans i després de l’Opinió Consultiva núm. 23/2017. L’article conclou que la Cort ha transformat gradualment un instrument propi del dret ambiental en una garantia dels drets humans basada en l’obligació de prevenció, consolidant així la funció de les AIA com a pont entre la protecció del medi ambient i la realització dels drets humans.
