Environmental Law Journal becomes part of Scielo Chile
The publication edited by the Environmental Law Center will be part of an open access collection of Chilean scientific journals in all areas of knowledge.
The Environmental Law Journal, edited by the Environmental Law Center of the Law School of the University of Chile, was admitted to be part of the SciELO - Chile Scientific Electronic Library.
SciELO - Chile is an open access collection of texts from Chilean scientific journals, from all areas of knowledge, which predominantly publish articles resulting from scientific research, and which uses peer review of the manuscripts they receive, which show a growing performance in the indicators of compliance with the indexing criteria.
"We are very pleased with this recognition, which is the result of an effort of continuous improvement of the editorial processes developed by the editorial team, which has resulted in the growing increase in the quality of the articles published over the years," said the director of the Journal, Prof. Valentina Durán Medina, adding "we are grateful for the support of the Faculty, which through its Dean, Prof. Pablo Ruiz-Tagle, and the Journals Program of the Research Department, headed by Prof. Daniel Álvarez, has provided permanent support to the work of the journal."
"Once the collaboration agreement between the Faculty of Law of the University of Chile and the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID) is signed, the full incorporation of the journal to this collection will take place, starting in 2022" explained the editor Jorge Ossandón Rosales.
This good news is in addition to the admission, in 2020, of the Environmental Law Journal to the SCOPUS database.
As a result, in 2022 the Environmental Law Journal will already be indexed in Scopus, Redib, DOAJ and Latindex, in addition to ScIELO, with the support of SISIB and the Journals Program of the Research Department of the Law School of the Universidad of Chile.
It should be noted that Issue 16 of this biannual journal will be published on December 31.

Abstract
This article seeks to propose a solution to the oscillating interpretation of the application of Article 15 of Law No. 19.880 regarding the concept of “defenselessness”, to resolve the admissibility of legal claims filed against proceeding acts issued by the Superintendence of the Environment (SMA). According to the proposal, the concept of defenselessness -understood as the concrete possibility of presenting allegations and defenses throughout the administrative procedure, and that these may influence the decision adopted in due time- must be linked to the right to challenge the decision. The two exceptions of Article 15 of Law No.19.880 seek to prevent the application of the general rule on the basis of which no appeal may be lodged against proceeding acts from generating situations of defenselessness due to the absolute impossibility of appealing. Hence, the second exception (when the act generates defenselessness) is equivalent to the first one (when the act prevents the continuation of the procedure). Whilst in the first exception it is impossible to amend the defect by appealing against the terminal act, because the latter will not come into existence, in the second exception the impossibility arises from the consolidation of legal and factual situations generated by the intermediate act. This approach is in line with the elements of interpretation recognized in our legal framework, makes the rule operative, and avoids the circularity that analyzing the admissibility requirements of the judicial claim based on its merit entails.Keywords:
