Résumé documentaire — langue originale

This research paper examines the critical nature of environmental justice and human rights, focusing on the tremendous impact industrial pollution has upon India's indigenous tribes.In fact, despite a good legal framework that is robust in protecting environmental and indigenous rights, the problem persists, facing many challenges when laws are enforced.This paper tries to explore the major provisions of law, relevant case laws, and international conventions while describing systemic barriers and how they impact indigenous communities in terms of legal fragmentation, socio-economic vulnerabilities, and cultural marginalization.Obviously, landmark cases like M.C.Mehta v. Union of India and Samatha v. State of Andhra Pradesh depict judicial activism in respect of environmental protection and advocacy towards the rights of marginalized populations.The research findings thus show that while judicial interventions have gone a long way in recognizing the rights of indigenous peoples, compliance with such judgments is generally thwarted by corruption, lack of legal awareness, and inadequate regulatory frameworks.Thus, the paper therefore further emphasizes the immediate necessity of radical reforms in the legal framework, increased public participation in environmental issues, and adoption of the principle of FPIC 1 to empower indigenous tribes.Bringing light to the routine continuing problems as well as the ways leading towards justice, this study further contributes to the dialogue of environmental governance which, in respect for the rights of indigenous communities, takes a more equal and sustainable approach in India.More generally, this paper calls for collective action from all stakeholders involved to seriously take up these, at times largely neglected issues, and ensure environmental justice becomes accessible and available to vulnerable populations.
