THE THE SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPASSES ARISING FROM MINING IN COLOMBIA: a view on sustainable development and the state of environmental law
Abstract
The practice of mining is a reality in many countries around the globe, especially in Colombia. Many individuals depend on this extractive activity for their subsistence. However, its indiscriminate, illegal and informal practice causes several problems to the environment and to the local population. Thus, this work is justified due to its socio-environmental character, which needs the attention of the government and of the academic environment. Therefore, this research has as general objective to analyze the problems caused by mining in Colombia. For this, the construction of this article will take place by means of bibliographic research techniques of a basic nature, of the descriptive-explanatory type, by the inductive method. As for the technical procedure, the research will be a case study. Thus, it was found that Colombia has legislation that regulates mining, but that is not fully complied with. Therefore, the application of Sustainable Development, based on the State of Environmental Law, will give effect to the provisions of the law.
