Congress Co-Organized by the OAS Highlights Need to Advance Rule of Law to Address Environmental Challenges in the Americas
April 1, 2015
The Organization of American States (OAS) this week co-organized the First Inter-American Congress on the Environmental Rule of Law in Montego Bay, Jamaica, an event that concluded with a call to strengthen the rule of law on to address environmental challenges in the Americas.
The two-day event, organized together with the Government of Jamaica, brought more than 120 participants, including Chief Justices, Attorneys General, legislators, prosecutors, high level practitioners and civil society representatives to develop a common understanding of the concept of environmental rule of law and to identify current trends in the field. Participants called on the governments of the region to prioritize environmental rule of law in order to address the increasingly complex challenges that the region faces today.
The Prime Minister of Jamaica, Portia Simpson Miller, highlighted the support of the OAS and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in increasing regional capacity on critical issues such as strengthening institutions that address environmental sustainability.
Outcomes from the Congress, supported by The World Commission on Environmental Law (WCEL) and the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), focused on issues related to legal frameworks for water resource management, trade investment and the environment, conflict prevention and management, enforcement and compliance and access to information, participation and access to justice in the Americas.
Participants called for the inclusion of the environmental rule of law in the OAS sustainable development agenda and for the Organization and its partners to continue holding the Congress on a periodical basis as a common space for the exchange of information and experiences amongst the judiciary, the executive and the legislative.
