Using the judicial system not just to resolve a single case: to generate structural change, legal precedents and public policy that transcend individual interest and seek collective, systemic impact.
+ THE FOUR PILLARS
A case is chosen for its high symbolic and legal potential: affecting vulnerable communities, involving a relevant legal gap, or enabling a replicable precedent.
It involves alliances between affected communities, civil society organizations, academia and lawyers, combining technical-legal knowledge with social legitimacy.
It seeks effects that transcend the ruling: media visibility, political pressure, stronger regulatory frameworks and community empowerment.
It relies on instruments such as the right to a healthy environment, the Escazú Agreement, the Paris Agreement and comparative case law, reinforcing the legal solidity of the case.
THE INSTRUMENTS BEHIND IT
The case is reinforced by the network’s technical-legal knowledge and the social legitimacy of the communities and organizations accompanying it.
