KATILIMCI DEMOKRASİNİN VASITALARI VE BU VASITALARDAN REFERANDUMUN ÇEVRE HAKKINA OLAN ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Yüz
yılımızda demokrasi, büyük bir öneme sahiptir ve insan hakları ve kamu
düzeninin korunmasında en iyi sistemdir. Öte yandan toplumlar güncel, çağdaş ve
evrensel bir değer olarak kabul edilen demokrasi dışında alternatife sahip
değildir. Yine demokrasi soyut ve izole bir kavram olarak düşünülmemelidir. O,
adalet, hukuk devleti ve diğer sosyal değerlerden oluşmaktadır. Demokrasi
farklı politik araçlar vasıtasıyla uygulanabilir. İşte bu makale demokrasinin
pratik araçlarını ve bunların bazı çevre sorunlarının çözümüne olan etkilerini
içermektedir. Çevre konuları yatırım projelerinin uygulanması doğrudan ve
bölgesel zararlı etkilerinden dolayı yerli halkın önceliklerine dayanmalıdır.
Aynı zamanda kirlilik hakkındaki tartışmalar diğer çevre haklarının yanı sıra
ırk ayrımcılığını barındıran insan hakları sorunlarına da sebep olmaktadır. Katılımcı
demokrasinin araçları çevre ile ilgili ulusal ya da uluslararası düzeyde karar
alınması bakımından hayati öneme sahiptir. Zira, bireyler katılımcı demokrasi
vasıtaları sayesinde çevrenin korunmasında önemli bir imkana sahip
olmaktadırlar.
