• Juillet 2025 : Le 23 juillet 2025, la CIJ a rendu son très attendu avis consultatif sur les obligations des États face au changement climatique, en réponse à une demande de l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies. L’avis précise notamment que : les États ont des obligations juridiques claires issues des traités climatiques (CCNUCC, Accord de Paris…), du droit international coutumier, du droit de la mer et des droits humains ; la responsabilité internationale d’un État peut être engagée en cas de manquement à ces obligations ; les obligations de prévention et de coopération sont désormais considérées comme des obligations erga omnes, engageant l’ensemble de la communauté internationale. Cet avis marque un tournant dans la reconnaissance juridique de la crise climatique et des droits des générations futures. Une avancée majeure pour le contentieux climatique et les actions en justice contre l’inaction des États ! L’avis intégral est disponible sur le site de la CIJ : www.icj-cij.org.
