Résumé

This work raises the need to create an ICC (International
Climate Court) in order to repair and reduce the environmental
inequalities suffered by Africa, as well as small island
developing States, which, by their geographical location and
their level of development, are harmed or especially affected
by the harmful effects of climate change.
Excessive greenhouse gas emissions, pollution due to fast
fashion; radioactive waste; as well as the complexity of
climatic migrations seriously alter the protection of the
environment by and on the African continent.
The proliferation of cases before the ECHR, The conviction of Switzerland on Tuesday April 9, 2024 by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for violation of the Human Rights Convention and The proliferation of cases before the I/A Court
H.R, because the exercise of certain rights guaranteed by the
Conventions can be compromised by environmental
degradation and exposure to environmental risks shows the
obvious need of an ICC (International Climate Court) to
reduce environmental inequalities.
