Reconocimiento de la naturaleza como entidad sujeto de derechos: ¿una consecuencia de las limitaciones del derecho ambiental?
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: The recognition of nature as an entity subject to rights undoubtedly generated an important change in the traditional conception and interpretation of law, which has always had man as its fundamental axis, conceived both in its individual and collective dimension. Thus, the category of subject of rights reserved for human beings opens a space for the inclusion of nature, broadening the spectrum of this recognition, just as it had been done in the past for legal persons. Recognizing the natural environment as the center of law generates a change in the paradigm that places the human being as the axis and the reason for law. And although the changes generate resistance, the situation of environmental threat that humanity faces will leave it no other way than to modify its conceptions and behaviors with respect to its role in relation to the environment.
