| Summary: |
The seas and inland waters have historically been spaces of invisibilised social struggles. This article offers an interdisciplinary analysis of all the decisions of the Colombian Constitutional Court related to human rights violations in artisanal fisheries. 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 analysed the most frequently claimed rights. Most of the Court proceedings are centred 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. |
