- Title
Aproximación al derecho penal ambiental: ideas para su abolición.
- Authors
Gómez Vélez, Martha Isabel
- Abstract
This paper accounts for the legal evolution of environmental crimes with the adoption of two penal codes and its subsequent reforms. In this path, the study illustrates the illegal way these norms have been employed in order to attack the environment and destroy the natural resources through the use of illegitimate legal actions such as crimes of abstract danger, cumulative, and the so called "white" criminal regulations, which may even imply the "administrativization" of criminal law. In this fashion, the paper also characterizes how these measures, not only illegitimate, but also inefficacious, do not allow for the actual implementation of severe public policies to stop the environmental damage experienced in Colombia.
