La ONU adopta una resolución que respalda el fallo de la CIJ sobre el clima

Una abrumadora mayoría de los miembros de las Naciones Unidas votó el miércoles para respaldar una opinión consultiva histórica de la Corte Internacional de Justicia sobre las responsabilidades en materia de cambio climático. La resolución señala un amplio apoyo político para exigir cuentas a los países por no abordar el calentamiento global. Más de 140 naciones apoyaron la medida, mientras que ocho votaron en contra.

La votación se produjo tras una campaña iniciada hace seis años, cuando estudiantes de derecho de la Universidad del Pacífico Sur instaron al gobierno de Vanuatu a buscar la orientación de la corte. En 2025, la CIJ dictaminó por unanimidad que las naciones tienen el deber legal de proteger el planeta y que los países afectados pueden solicitar reparaciones por los daños climáticos. La opinión, que no es vinculante, calificó la inacción como un acto ilícito.
