Abstract
This article aims to provide a brief reflection on the interrelationships between international environmental protection and human rights issues. We will analyze the "greening" process of the Inter-American human rights system. This phenomenon occurs when environmental issues are protected by the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man and by the American Convention on Human Rights devices in spite of the fact that those instruments are in principle focused on the guarantee of civil and political rights.
