Importancia de aplicar inmediatamente las decisiones internacionales de tribunales competentes al momento de resolver vulneración de derechos fundamentales

Abstract

In the 60s what we know today as the Amazon, they were only oil deposits and there was no attention paid to the cultural diversity, the flora, the fauna, much less the people who lived there; Thus, governments were limited to signing contracts with transnational companies that were responsible for oil exploration and these companies used the most economical and deeply polluting methods for hydrocarbon extraction. As is known to all, the most important case in this matter in the country has been and is, that of Petroleum Chevron-Texaco, which carried out its activities in the northern region of the Amazon that includes the provinces of Sucumbíos and Orellana; where it caused serious environmental damages that affected the indigenous communities in their health, culture, daily coexistence and integral development. And it is when they began to suffer the effects of the pollution caused by the transnational, that the indigenous communities and affected settlers decide to claim and ask for justice, reaching the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that gave a favorable ruling to the violation of Rights by the transnational and the Ecuadorian State. When the IACHR declares a State guilty in a decision, it obliges to make reparation; this reparation not only implies economic compensation, but also has another very important aspect that is non-economic reparations, that is, the State is obliged not to repeat the violations for which it has been tried.
