Based on the judgment of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights referring to the Case of Inhabitants of La Oroya v. Peru, examined whether the Peruvian State is responsible for the violation of the rights to a healthy environment, health, movement and residence, access to information and participating in public affairs to the detriment of 80 inhabitants of La Oroya; as well as the impact on children's rights to the detriment of 57 inhabitants of La Oroya who, when they were children, saw their rights violated. For this, it is considered that the violations that occurred are linked to the polluting activities derived from the La Oroya Metallurgical Complex. To carry out my analysis of the case, I have resorted to relevant and related normative, jurisprudential, and doctrinal sources, which allowed me to reach the conclusion that the Peruvian State is indeed responsible. First, Peru did not take into consideration the principle of sustainable development when executing, regulating, and supervising the metallurgical activity in La Oroya, nor did it provide the necessary medical care to the population affected by the pollution; and environmental degradation undermined free movement around the city and led to forced displacement. Second, the people of La Oroya were unable to efficiently access environmental information about their city, nor did they actively participate in transmitting their socio-environmental interests and concerns to the authorities. Third, La Oroya's children saw their rights to health, integrity and a dignified life affected in an alarming way considering their intrinsic vulnerability.
