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.
The legal nature of the high seas in pollution liability matters
Abstract
In the light of international environmental law, the legal, jurisprudential and doctrinal regimes that encompass the institution of the high seas were studied, since the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982 and the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development of 1992 that both congregates a denaturalization of the rights and obligations of protection established for the benefit of the high seas; because within these international instruments their effects and application lie within the soft law theory, due to the sovereign character of the States and the scarce legislative technique contemplated in their normative development; issues that lead to the formation of legal vacuums that cause in cases of pollution and overexploitation of non-renewable natural resources inside the high seas remain in impunity. Therefore, this work invites to the international community to modify the legal structure of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, to the extent that it incorporates effective protection in Part VII on the high seas, and includes the environment in some way in order to prevent and reduce potential anthropogenic activities that cause environmental degradation due to the new uses and customs instigated in the 21st century.Keywords:
