Although many developing countries have environmental statutes,
regulations, and resolutions on the books, these laws are rarely
enforced and often ignored. "Making Law Matter" presents the first
book-length treatment of an innovative prosecutorial institution,
the Brazilian Ministrio Publico, which refashioned itself in the
1980s into a powerful defender of citizen rights in environmental
protection, as well as in other areas of public interest such as
disability rights, consumer protection, and anticorruption.
In Brazil, the offices of prosecutors and courts have become an
important forum for resolving environmental conflicts, making
environmental law more effective than in the past. Court
involvement communicates the end of impunity for violators. It
increases the accountability of governmental agencies and provides
legal access for citizen complaints. In short, it enhances
environmental rule of law. As developing countries continue to seek
to reform their legal systems to strengthen democracy and the rule
of law, the Brazilian Ministrio Publico must be recognized as a
very promising model.
