| description | In this article, we have been motivated by the need to address a little-studied aspect of extractivism in Latin America: the colonial foundations of the regulatory framework of corporate mining and the limits of the judicialization of human rights in order to achieve transformation. Our analysis draws on theoretical references from the field of strategic litigation, the origins of international law and decolonial studies. We used a multiscale methodology that took Guatemala and Colombia as case studies at the national level and the Inter-American System of Human Rights at the international level. At the same time, we wove an interdisciplinary dialogue between authors with different backgrounds and integrated a variety of academic sources and judicial sentences. Thus, we constructed from the most relevant sources a colonial genealogy of mining regulations and their continuity in the republican and contemporary regulations in the countries in question. In addition, we identify common patterns in the judicialization of mining conflicts at the domestic and inter-American levels and demonstrate their ineffectiveness in the modification of the regulations governing mining. We conclude with a reflection on new theoretical and methodological paths both in legal practice and in applied theoretical research, possible horizons for the decolonization of law and, in particular, mining law. |

En el presente artículo nos ha motivado la necesidad de abordar un punto poco estudiado sobre el extractivismo en América Latina: los fundamentos coloniales del marco regulatorio de la minería corporativa y los límites de la judicialización de los derechos humanos para lograr su transformación. Nuestro análisis se sustenta en referentes teóricos del campo del litigio estratégico, el origen del derecho internacional y los estudios decoloniales. Empleamos una metodología multiescalar que tomó como estudios de caso, en el plano nacional, a Guatemala y Colombia, y en el internacional al Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos. A su vez, tejimos un diálogo interdisciplinar entre autores con trasfondos diferenciados e integramos una variedad de fuentes académicas y resoluciones judiciales. Así construimos, a partir de los hitos más relevantes, una genealogía colonial de la normativa minera y su continuidad en las regulaciones republicanas y contemporáneas en los países de estudio. Además, identificamos patrones comunes en la judicialización de los conflictos mineros a nivel doméstico e interamericano y evidenciamos su ineficacia en la modificación de las normativas que rigen la minería. Concluimos con una reflexión sobre nuevos caminos teóricos y metodológicos tanto en la práctica jurídica como en la investigación teórica aplicada, posibles horizontes para la descolonización del derecho y en particular del derecho minero. Neste artigo, fomos motivados pela necessidade de abordar um ponto pouco estudado sobre o extrativismo na América Latina: os fundamentos coloniais do marco regulatório da mineração corporativa e os limites da judicialização dos direitos humanos para alcançar sua transformação. Nossa análise é baseada em referenciais teóricos do campo do litígio estratégico, da origem do direito internacional e dos estudos decoloniais. Utilizamos uma metodologia multiescala que tomou como estudos de caso, em nível nacional, a Guatemala e a Colômbia, e em nível internacional, o Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos. Ao mesmo tempo, tecemos um diálogo interdisciplinar entre autores de diferentes origens e integramos uma variedade de fontes acadêmicas e decisões judiciais. Assim, construímos, a partir dos marcos mais relevantes, uma genealogia colonial das regulamentações mineiras e sua continuidade nas regulamentações republicanas e contemporâneas nos países em estudo. Além disso, identificamos padrões comuns na judicialização dos conflitos de mineração no âmbito interno e interamericano, e constatamos sua ineficácia para modificar as normas que regem a mineração. Concluímos com uma reflexão sobre novos caminhos teóricos e metodológicos, tanto na prática jurídica como na investigação teórica aplicada, horizontes possíveis para a descolonização do direito e em particular do direito mineiro.
