ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES: A PROBLEM [INTER-INTRA] GENERATIONAL

Abstract

This work analyzes the necessary re-reading and interaction between human rights and environmental law in order to guarantee and strengthen the incorporation of the collective or social dimension. From the imperative obligation that "environmental damage will primarily generate the obligation to recompose" addresses the issue of environmental liabilities, which must be resolved by the State to avoid further transferring them to future generations. It analyzes the right of integral reparation and guarantee of non-repetition as measures to address inequalities in the distribution of socio-environmental costs and burdens of a historical contamination that is drawn to present times and manifests itself as a potential problem for future generations, through a hermeneutic interpretation of the complex system of sources.
