The Ponzi scheming never ends. In a sweeping new legal opinion, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) has declared that climate change represents a human rights issue, and that all 35 member nations of the Organization of American States (OAS)—including the United States and Canada—have a legal obligation to combat it.
The Costa Rica-based court’s advisory ruling asserts that individuals have a human right to a stable climate, and that governments must urgently take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to changing conditions, and guard against climate disinformation.
The court’s 300-page opinion calls for “urgent and effective” state responses to the climate crisis based on the best available science. It emphasizes that these obligations are not limited to signatories of the American Convention on Human Rights, but are binding on all OAS members. The court draws on national, regional, and international laws to argue that protecting current and future generations from climate breakdown is a legal duty of governments.
One of the most controversial aspects of the ruling involves the issue of climate-related disinformation. The court recommends that states actively work with social media platforms, tech developers, and news media to combat misinformation about climate change. It advocates for “media and information literacy” programs and coordinated actions to ensure that digital content is truthful and reliable. In essence, this suggests state-backed censorship or control of online speech deemed to be climate disinformation.
Critics, particularly in the U.S., have expressed alarm over what they see as a foreign attempt to override national sovereignty and the First Amendment. They argue that the court’s call for action against disinformation could open the door to censorship of dissenting voices, including scientists, commentators, and politicians who question prevailing climate narratives.
This is the second international court to issue such a legal opinion. Last year, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea ruled that greenhouse gases constitute pollutants damaging marine ecosystems, and that states have a legal responsibility to control them. That ruling triggered a push for international carbon taxes on shipping—a move the Trump administration strongly opposed. In a leaked diplomatic letter, the administration warned that the U.S. would retaliate against any nation attempting to impose such fees on American vessels, calling the proposals “blatantly unfair.”
Vice President JD Vance recently echoed these sentiments, warning that American support for international alliances like NATO could be threatened if European governments pursue censorship of U.S. platforms such as X (formerly Twitter). Vance referred to past EU threats against Elon Musk for potentially reinstating President Donald Trump’s account, framing them as attacks on American free speech.
In light of the IACHR’s ruling, future tensions are likely between U.S. leaders—especially under a potential second Trump administration—and international legal bodies asserting jurisdiction over climate policy and speech regulation. While the court’s opinion is non-binding, its sweeping scope and assertion of legal norms across the entire Western Hemisphere signal a growing push for supranational climate governance, and possibly, conflict over national sovereignty and free expression.
