摘要

摘要2008年,厄瓜多尔在其《宪法》中承认自然权利。自那以后,RoN在厄瓜多尔的司法判决中被依赖了55次。在厄瓜多尔政府和法院对RoN进行了多年的临时处理之后,其宪法法院选择了各种案件,以确立对RoN具有约束力的判例。为此,厄瓜多尔宪法法院和各省级法院澄清了RoN的内容,包括确定违反RoN的具体标准,以及RoN与其他宪法权利之间的关系,包括与发展有关的社区和经济权利。此外,法院正在对违反RoN的人实施制裁,包括国家和强大的商业部门。这篇文章展示了厄瓜多尔法院的裁决如何将RoN从一个模糊、抽象的概念转变为一套具体的标准,以平衡RoN与各种人权和现有环境法,从而在不牺牲生态系统功能的情况下,以综合和整体的方式实施可持续发展。在这样做的过程中,这篇文章为新兴的文献做出了贡献,这些文献涉及新的环境法规范在付诸实践时是如何构建的,以及法官作为规范企业家所发挥的重要作用。

How Ecuador's Courts Are Giving Form and Force to Rights of Nature Norms
Abstract In 2008, Ecuador recognized rights of nature (RoN) in its Constitution. Since then, RoN have been relied upon in judicial decisions 55 times in Ecuador. Following years of ad hoc treatment of RoN by Ecuador's government and courts, its Constitutional Court selected various cases to establish binding jurisprudence in respect of RoN. In doing so, the Constitutional Court and various provincial courts in Ecuador have clarified the content of RoN, including specific criteria for determining RoN violations and the relationship between RoN and other constitutional rights, including community and economic rights related to development. Moreover, the courts are imposing sanctions on RoN violators, including the state and powerful commercial sectors. This article shows how Ecuadorian court decisions are changing RoN from a vague, abstract concept into a set of specific standards for how to balance RoN with various human rights and existing environmental law in order to implement sustainable development in an integrated and holistic manner that does not sacrifice ecosystem functioning. In doing so, the article contributes to the emerging literature on how new environmental law norms are constructed as they are put into practice, as well as the important role that judges play as norm entrepreneurs.
