A participação das mulheres na mediação de conflitos ambientais para alcançar o desenvolvimento sustentável na agenda do direito ambiental internacional .

Abstract

This paper is about women¿s inclusion in peacemaking processes led by the international environmental mediation and it intends to promote their effective participation in political decision making processes, aiming to reach everlasting peace and sustainable development. It aims to recognize their decisive role as peacemakers, avoiding identifying women¿s role as victms only, in the conflict solving áreas marked by complexity and boundary breaking, which demands new, different and creative ways for resolutions. The international mediation strategies which include women and civil society in a wider way are more likely to achieve more sustainable peace and generate international support, the strengthening of its legitimacy and credibility. Women¿s perspectives bring perception and understanding which are different from the causes and consequences of conflicts, and make way for the building of more comprehensive and objective proposals for their respective resolutions. The preservation of future generations islikely to be assured with the participation of all actors involved, and it not longer allows gender exclusion. This way, sustainable development won¿t be achieved if half of mankind gets its human rights denied. And the development that is studied in this paper is the concept that expands so as to include social dimensions, human rights, good governance and democracy . For these dynamics, peace, the environment and development make a unique harmonious arrangement in which music that is written on music sheets of the environment conflicts is conducted by women. The notes in this arrangement, interpreted this way, translate into environmental cooperation and are able to play an important role in mankind¿s hearts concerning the importance of building a better world.
