El ambiente como bien jurídico constitucional y sus mecanismos de protección. El caso Venezuela.

Abstract

In Venezuelan law, the environment already has the status of juridical goods, whose legal protection derives from the Constitution of 1999, qualifying it as a Human Right (Chapter IX, Title III). Therefore, this right must be guaranteed to each generation in the form of a safe, healthy, and ecologically balanced environment. The character of the constitutional juridical goods generates significant possibilities in Venezuela for environmental protection. These possibilities must be materialized integrally as a result of environmental policies implemented by the state, and otherwise, as an answer to the citizens demand in defense of their Human Right to an environment that will ensure a good quality of life for all people.
