Responsabilidad internacional del estado colombiano frente a la explotación de minas de Marmato en Caldas

Abstract

This monograph addresses the international responsibility of the Colombian State with regard to the Inter-American Human Rights System for environmental damage in the face of mine exploitation in Marmato Caldas, based on what is established in national and international legislation, as well as the pronouncements issued for the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. In other words, the problem of whether or not there was environmental international responsibility is resolved, from the legal point of view and in the specific case mentioned. For the above, an investigation was developed through a qualitative socio-legal approach making a collection of doctrinal information on environmental issues, articles, texts, theses, and rulings issued at national and international level, getting deeper into the causes of the damage or illicit environment in order to configure environmental responsibility. Finally, it was concluded that the Colombian State did not guarantee what was agreed in international agreements and treaties signed by Colombia in environmental matters, and important principles such as precaution among others did not materialize
