Seniors displaced after Yarmouth fire | SaltWire #fire #yarmouth #seniors #newsSAO PAULO - Latin America's human rights court holds a final hearing in Brazil on Wednesday in a case that's part of a global wave of climate litigation, as several international courts prepare first-time opinions on what countries must do to combat climate change.
Next year, the International Court of Justice is expected to have its say and could attempt to draw the earlier court decisions into one global ruling applicable to all U.N. members. That process has made the case before the Inter-American Court the largest to date – with more than 600 participants at hearings held in Brazil and Barbados, as well as 262 written submissions to the court from Indigenous groups, civil society, scientists and one company.
"The judges do read each other's opinions," Marjanac said, though whatever influence one ruling has on another might be"more psychological and social than legal."Globally, most past court decisions on climate have focused on countries causing harm by failing to sufficiently cut greenhouse gas emissions, including last month's ruling against Switzerland.
Major differences between international court decisions could trigger fragmentation where climate change rules differ between regions.
