Invited columnists: Viviana Gonzáles and Rodrigo Rogelis, members of the Centro Sociojurídico para la Defensa Territorial Siembra, legal attorneys of the petitioners of the judgment T-622 of the Atrato River.
In order to guarantee the protection and decontamination of the Atrato River, in Chocó, Colombia, the judges of the Constitutional Court declared it a “subject of right”. Six years after the judgment, there is still a lot to do. This is a collective work with the journalist Marie Eve Detoeuf, from “Le Monde”.
The Guardians of Atrato, along with the Centro Sociojurídico Siembra, will submit next Thursday, November 3rd, a petition to the Constitutional Court for the fifth anniversary of the Judgment T-622, the first to acknowledge a River a subject of rights. In the text, the status of the implementation of the judgment is identified, and even though it has progressed, it has not been fully fulfilled.
“The judgment T-622 of the Constitutional Court? Everybody here knows it”, says José Adán Palacios, while he charges his boat on the pier of Quibdó. José Adán, who is from Bojayá, transports passengers and merchandise, and knows better than anyone this majestic River and its watersheds. “But the judgment has not changed a thing; the contamination carries on, whether it is due to the mining, deforestation, or trash”, the boatman sighs.
