L'ONU adopte une résolution soutenant l'avis de la CIJ sur le climat

Une écrasante majorité des membres des Nations unies a voté mercredi en faveur de l'adoption d'un avis consultatif historique de la Cour internationale de Justice sur les responsabilités en matière de changement climatique. La résolution témoigne d'un large soutien politique pour tenir les pays responsables de leur incapacité à lutter contre le réchauffement climatique. Plus de 140 nations ont soutenu la mesure, tandis que huit ont voté contre.

Le vote fait suite à une campagne lancée il y a six ans, lorsque des étudiants en droit de l'Université du Pacifique Sud ont exhorté le gouvernement du Vanuatu à solliciter l'avis de la Cour. En 2025, la CIJ a statué à l'unanimité que les nations ont l'obligation légale de protéger la planète et que les pays lésés peuvent demander réparation pour les dommages climatiques. L'avis, bien que non contraignant, qualifie l'inaction d'acte illicite.
