Consideraciones generales sobre la normativa chilena antártica (1939-2011)

Abstract

This article is aimed make a broad analysis of legal rules related to Antarctica enacted in Chile between 1939 and 2011. It considers both law –and administrative acts of domestic origin– and international treaties –and reception in the domestic legal order of the rules produced by the organs of the Antarctic Treaty System. As a result, a “state of affairs” is stablished in order to tend to the systematization and optimization of Chilean Antarctic Territory regulations, necessary both for the achievement of the objectives that the State of Chile has set about to achieve and the purposes of the Antarctic Treaty System.
