Brochure page 12 · full text

01

Strategic case selection

A case is chosen for its high symbolic and legal potential: affecting vulnerable communities, involving a relevant legal gap, or enabling a replicable precedent.

02

Articulation of actors

It involves alliances between affected communities, civil society organizations, academia and lawyers, combining technical-legal knowledge with social legitimacy.

03

Impact beyond the courtroom

It seeks effects that transcend the ruling: media visibility, political pressure, stronger regulatory frameworks and community empowerment.

04

Grounding in rights and treaties

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.
