Opinions tribunals dealing with environmental issues have multiplied over the last several years as a consequence of the rise of international environmental law and its promotion by international networks. Drawing on an ethnographic investigation of one of those tribunals—the International Monsanto Tribunal— this article reflects on the many objectives they often pursue: strengthening political positions, publicizing environmental and health social struggles, and promoting legal theories. In our case, we show that articulating those objectives involved intense work to stage the tribunal's legitimacy. We analyze this work and how it was put to the test during and after the sessions of the tribunal. Our article broadly suggests that environmental opinion tribunals are political arenas where rights and identities are not only asserted but also negotiated and legitimized.

上演国际环境正义：国际孟山都法庭

由于国际环境法的兴起及其国际网络的推广，处理环境问题的舆论法庭在过去几年中成倍增加。本文基于对其中一个法庭（国际孟山都法庭）的人种学调查，反映了他们经常追求的许多目标：加强政治立场，宣传环境与健康社会斗争以及推广法律理论。在我们的案例中，我们表明，阐明这些目标需要花费大量精力来提高法庭的合法性。我们分析了这项工作以及在法庭会议期间和之后如何对其进行测试。
