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.
Participation of indigenous peoples in environmental governance in Paraguay: Analysis of the legal and institutional framework
Download
Abstract
The full validity of the principle of environmental justice requires as a necessary condition that the institutional and legal frameworks develop a procedural component, based on mechanisms that guarantee access to decision-making to the different potentially affected sectors and, in particular, to indigenous peoples or rural populations, who have not traditionally been considered in the framework of actors involved in the environmental management of their own territories. Through this work, the legal bases on which environmental governance in Paraguay is based are analyzed, with the aim of identifying the participation mechanisms of indigenous peoples in decisionmaking
in said area of public development and, subsequently, determine the possible gaps that distance the current scheme from the standards established by international legal instruments that address the matter. The methodology is dogmatic in nature and is based on a detailed study of the doctrine and national and comparative regulations, which are subject to critical review and subsequent systematization. The results obtained show that, with the implementation of Decree 1039/2018, the regulatory vacuum of Agreement 169 of the International Labour Organization that had existed for several years was repaired. However, this does not imply that the participation of indigenous peoples in environmental decision-making is guaranteed, since currently there are no clearly defined channels that enable permanent dialogue with the national environmental authority.
