espanol“Waslala”, novela futuristica de Gioconda Belli, revela las multiples tensiones que surgen cuando se exploran los derechos humanos en el contexto de la crisis ecologica global. Mientras la novela critica la explotacion humana de recursos naturales y la resultante desigualdad de desarrollo humano y economico, a la vez afirma el acceso a y control de los recursos como un derecho humano fundamental. Haciendo uso de las teorias de Steve Stern y Scott Straus sobre “la paradoja de los derechos humanos” y del concepto del “Capitaloceno” de Jason Moore, postulo que “Waslala” demuestra dos tensiones fundamentales entre los derechos humanos y los problemas ambientales. Primero, la novela muestra como atender a los principios universales del balance ecologico global puede socavar los derechos humanos de individuos limitados por razones geograficas o economicas. Segundo, demuestra como el derecho humano a la propiedad esta implicado en la crisis ecologica global. Aunque “Waslala” intenta situar los derechos humanos por encima de los temas medioambientales, al mismo tiempo hace hincapie en la imposibilidad de separar a los dos, lo cual provoca que se reconsidere la definicion y practica de los derechos humanos dentro del contexto de la ecologia global. EnglishGioconda Belli’s futuristic novel “Waslala” reveals the many tensions that arise when one explores human rights within a context of planetary ecological crisis. While the novel criticizes human exploitation of natural resources and the resultant differential development and economic inequality, at the same time it affirms access to and control of resources as a fundamental human right. Using Steve Stern and Scott Straus’s framework of the “human rights paradox” and Jason Moore’s description of the “Capitalocene,” I argue that “Waslala” demonstrates two fundamental tensions between human rights and environmental issues. First, the novel shows how attention to the universal principles of global ecological balance may undermine the human rights of individuals constrained by geography or economic class. Second, it demonstrates how the human right to property is implicated in global ecological crisis. Although “Waslala” purports to privilege human rights over ecological concerns, at the same time it highlights the impossibility of separating the two, prompting a rethinking of the definition and practice of human rights within the context of global ecology.
