From the modern individual to nature: decolonial perspectives of the concept of "subject of rights"

This paper proposes a debate on the reinterpretation of the classical concept of "Subject of Rights'' as an element intertwined with the achievement of Ecological Justice. It aims to reflect on the need for decolonial ruptures in legal theory especially in Latin American territories. It presents conceptions for Ecological Justice, with a special emphasis on the recognition of Nature as a Subject of Rights, as expressed in the Constitutional text of Ecuador (2008) and the infraconstitutional legislation of Bolivia (2010). Finally, it addresses the changes that such conceptions provoke to deal with such contemporary and complex reinterpretations. To do so, it uses Bibliographic Review, with a deductive method and a qualitative focus
