Environmental Legal Protections: Reflections from the Peruvian Experience

Abstract

This article discusses the fractionation, heterogeneity and dispersion of the Peruvian environmental legal system. The relevance of this proposal is its consideration of application-level problems for environmental rules of the game, as addressed by the competent public entities and the entities overseeing the current functional environmental systems. Finally, and considering the principle of transectoriality, it proposes as a corrective mechanism the need to articulate and coordinate the actions of the OEFA with respect to the SINEFA.

KEYWORDS: environment, legal order, sectoral application, transectoriality principle, environmental protection.
