João Paulo Bachur | Post-doctorate in Law and Coordinator of the Masters and Academic Doctorate in Law at IDP
Isis Táboas | PhD in Law, State and Constitution from the University of Brasília (UnB), with a sandwich doctoral internship at the “International Institute of Social Studies” at the University of Rotterdam, Netherlands. She has a Master's degree in Human Rights and Citizenship, winner of the 2015 UnB Dissertation Award / Human Rights axis, which led to her book: É LUTA! Popular Peasant Feminism and Confronting Violence.
Luciana de Souza Ramos | Post-doctorate in Global Inequalities and Social Justice at FLACSO. PhD and Master in Law from the University of Brasília (UNB). Professor at IES Martha Falcão, UNIP and CIESA. Popular Lawyer of the National Network of Popular Lawyers (RENAP) and the collective of black popular lawyers Luisa Mahin. Consultant in Amazonas for the National Human Rights Council (CNDH).
The event proposes a debate on recent processes of recognition of fundamental rights for non-human entities, by higher courts in different countries (India, Ecuador, Bolivia, New Zealand, notably). The legitimacy of attributing legal personality to non-human entities (such as animal species, rivers or mountains) constitutes a new frontier in the historic process of expanding the number of subjects of law. The claim has a direct effect on environmental rights and culturally differentiated populations, such as indigenous peoples. Ultimately, it implies recognizing legal personality for the Earth itself, an argument increasingly supported by scientists, who have reached a broad consensus on two profound ecological hypotheses. First, that the biosphere and its components form part of a complex living system, which sustains planetary climatic conditions; renamed as the “Gaia hypothesis”. Second, that recent human activities are the cause of climate change, which threatens the existence of the planetary organism, which regulates the conditions for human life itself. How to position law, justice and development in the era of the Anthropocene, in which humans emerge as a geological force?
