Résumé documentaire — langue originale

This article discusses the extension of international human rights principles to wild animals, which could potentially contribute to their international protection in the Anthropocene. However, the distinct and more distant relationship between humans and wild animals raises several questions. Tension exists between the holistic ethics of environmentalism in terms of the biodiversity regime vis-à-vis the focus on individual animals in terms of animal welfare/ethics. The obligation to eradicate alien invasive species in Article 8(h) of the Convention on Biological Diversity epitomises the tension. Thus, this article investigates potential international wild animal rights in the context of the tension between holism and individualism and introduces these rights as specific group-based rights which differ in substance from animal rights applicable to domesticated animals. The discussion proposes that non-exclusionary dignity may be used to determine the specific rights of wild animals, which has the potential for strengthening animal rights through transjudicial communication. Furthermore, the article addresses the tension between environmentalism and rights and argues that wild animal rights don’t necessarily preclude the eradication of alien invasive species. Subsequently, the publication considers the substantive content of proposed wild animal rights and reflects on potential wild animal rights via a reference to existing non-binding declarations and domestic case law. The discussion highlights the relevance of the rights to freedom, to habitat or the environment, and the prohibition of cruel treatment and concludes with final remarks.
