L’approccio One Health nel sistema interamericano di protezione dei diritti della persona, come garantito dalla Corte di San José

The ‘One Health’ Approach within the Inter-American System for Human Rights Protection, as Framed by the Court of San José: This article outlines the process undertaken by the Inter-American Commission and the Inter-American Court in the interpretation and application of the American system on human rights, in order to strengthen the link between the rights enshrined in the aforementioned system and the protection of the environment in broad terms, in light of the ‘One Health’ approach. To this end, the article focuses, on the one hand, on the case-law relating to the protection of the territorial vulnerability of indigenous communities, the protection of human health through the preservation of the environment, in terms of a healthy environment and the enjoyment of ‘Mother Earth’, and, on the other hand, on the Advisory Opinion OC-23/17 regarding the relationship between the environment and human rights. The assessment of these orientations shows the positive attitude, especially of the InterAmerican Court, to considering ‘One Health’ as a unified and coordinated approach, perhaps in a hidden way.
