Documentary abstract — original language
Granting legal rights to nature in Colombia has opened the discussion about new approaches to justice where nature is also an actor, a subject. This kind of judicial recognition raises questions about the broadening of the circle of justice to include non-human beings and about the classical concept of environmental justice, which focus mainly on activities’ impacts on humans. In this paper I reflect about the basics of the category of nature as a subject of rights in Colombia, and the notion of justice embedded in the rulings examined. Using the doctrinal method, the analysis is based on the study of six rulings that recognised rights of rivers and ecosystems in Colombia, issued by judges from the Constitutional Court as well as the municipal courts between 2016 and 2019.
