FIGUEROA, Isabela et al. Justice in Fishing Territories: Artisanal Fisheries Human Rights Violations Analysed by the Colombia Constitutional Court. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.2, e12.  Epub 22-Out-2023. ISSN 0124-0579.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/sociojuridicos/a.12518.

The seas and inland waters have historically been spaces of the invisibleness of social struggles. This article offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the Colombian Constitutional Court decisions related to human rights violations in artisanal fisheries territories. We used a human rights-based approach to study 79 court proceedings and built a digital database called Justice in Fishing Territories (Justicia en Territorios Pesqueros). We identified and analyzed the most frequently claimed and protected rights. Most of the Court proceedings are centered on participation processes, indicating that artisanal fisheries sector actors are not being considered in the approval of development projects. We conclude that the Colombian State privileges the interests of the industrial economic sector to the detriment of the rights of the fishing populations.
