Resumen
BRUN PEREIRA, Martina. he Legal Protection of the Human Right to a Healthy Environment in Uruguay. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2021, n.23, pp.116-141. Epub 10-Jun-2021. ISSN 1510-3714. https://doi.org/10.22235/rd23.2517.
The purpose of this article is to analyze the legal protection of the right to the environment in Uruguay to observe whether this system responds to the regulations and standards developed in the regional system. To this end, it analyzes national jurisprudence together with various parliamentary proceedings that led to the approval of norms concerning the protection of the right. The article reflects, in short, on the treatment of the right to the environment in Uruguay, in addition to considering some aspects of jurisdiction that represent the current challenges of this right. Among the conclusions it is highlighted that the regional standards constitute interpretative guidelines that encourage countries like Uruguay to adopt more effective legal attitudes for the protection of the environment, and that, in spite of the wide support that the domestic law has, it has not been applied in a significant manner in the country.
