The article examines whether corporations can be held liable for breaches of Indigenous peoples’ right to a healthy environment in Colombia. After exposing the scope of the right in the international, regional and Colombian legal orders, it tackles Colombia’s obligation to protect it against infringements committed by third parties, and to provide judicial remedies in the event of breaches. Then, it discusses how the absence of a binding international and national legal frameworks imposing obligations on corporations in environmental matters affect available judicial remedies for Indigenous peoples. It argues that the Colombian Constitutional Court and the Special Jurisdiction for Peace have attempted to fill the void left by the legislator. Whilst the first has acknowledged the existence of obligations on corporations in environmental matters, the second has recognized Indigenous territories as subjects of rights in order to further protect Indigenous rights and overall environment. It concludes by a few recommendations.

控股公司因侵犯哥伦比亚土著人民健康环境权而承担责任:幻想还是现实?

该文章探讨了公司是否可以因侵犯哥伦比亚土著人民的健康环境权而承担责任。在揭示了国际、区域和哥伦比亚法律秩序中的权利范围后,它讨论了哥伦比亚保护其免受第三方侵权的义务,并在发生侵权行为时提供司法补救措施。然后,它讨论了缺乏具有约束力的国际和国家法律框架来规定企业在环境问题上的义务如何影响土著人民可用的司法补救措施。它认为,哥伦比亚宪法法院和和平特别管辖权试图填补立法者留下的空白。虽然第一个承认企业在环境问题上存在义务,第二个承认原住民领土为权利主体,以进一步保护原住民权利和整体环境。最后提出了一些建议。
