In Colombia, environmental conflicts are recognized by the political constitution of 1991; taking into account three points of view: as the first principle is the legal system, secondly it is considered an obligation for the State, because this right must be guaranteed and respected, finally, it is stipulated as a right-duty for the citizens.
