The greening of jurisprudence: a study case between costa dos corais in Brazil and the australian great barrier reefs

Abstract

The object of study outlined addresses the insertion of the greening of jurisprudence arising from environmental protection and human rights by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, covering its (in) applicability on the Coral Coast of Brazil and the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. The investigation was carried out with inductive and systematic methods through jurisprudencial, normative and documentary analysis. The protection of the environment and human rights form the reflex pathway, emerging the greening of jurisprudence when justice goes beyond the peoples as a central point of support. In the Area of Environmental Protection Costa dos Corais in Brazil there was environmental protection aimed at the sustainable use of the area by humans in case of environmental damage, covering anthropocentrism. In the case of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, justice was for the protection of this area for the rights of nature, supporting ecocentrism, offering the perception of the possibility of demonstrating the importance of Environmental Courts.
