Abstract
This edition of the Journal of Human Rights and the Environment foregrounds strategies and directions for the decolonization of rights discourse and resistance to modes of extractivist plunder and eco-violation.In various ways, the authors identify resistive approaches to the broadly neo/colonial imperatives of the extractivist global order and its savage fallouts.A range of approaches are identified: the Latin American shifting of constitutional paradigms in moves towards legal personhood for natural systems and entities; grassroots Latin American deployments of pluriversal biocultural rights; Canadian activist degrowth strategies; global social movement protests against climate vandalism; the reframing of European Union (EU) environmental protection by deploying Hohfeldian correlativity to identify rights-based eco-protection emerging despite the current limits of EU jurisprudential ontology.Together, the imaginative, ground-breaking approaches discussed by the authors in this edition offer insights that convergein broad termsaround the decolonizationeither explicitly or implicitlyof rights-based approaches and/or their underlying onto-epistemology.Human rights, set against the extensive eco-violence of the neoliberal international order, are challenged by this edition to reconfigure their discursive limits, while the imaginative potency of biocultural rights and the resistive potentiality of rights of nature are brought to bear.Supporting such moves, and convergent with their resistive direction, are social movement activisms, Indigenous political ontologies, and the prefigurative economic strategies of the degrowth movement.While this editorial cannot do justice to the rich themes and strands emerging in the edition, it is possible to detect a central underlying problematic pivotal for the concerns of the articles.This problematic is the dominance of (and violence enacted by) the multiformed 'extractivism' that Saskia Sassen has characterized as the central feature of the expulsive (and expanding) 'operational space of advanced capitalism'. 1 Latin America is a space especially marked by intense struggles against such brutal extractivism.In 'Legal personhood of Latin American rivers: time to shift constitutional paradigms?',Amaya Álvez-Marín, Camila Bañales-Seguel, Rodrigo Castillo, Claudia Acuña-Molina and Pablo Torres offer an analysis of three Latin American legal paradigms that address the entanglement of humans and 'nature'.The authors, drawing three Latin American constitutional orders into a comparative critical analysis, deploy rivers as 'emblematic' elements of nature that currently press the imaginary of legal personhood in new directions.The authors identify some challenges and opportunities generated by the emergent legal paradigm of 'New Latin American Constitutionalism', arguing that it directly challenges liberal law's generic Eurocentrism.This New Latin American Constitutionalism expressly draws the knowledges 1.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
