In 2022, they started Leave the dead fish Oder’s. There were thousands of them; Volunteers and services do not provide the river and its shore. Unable to access the waterDue to unidentified pollution. Who is the guilty of the ‘death’ of the most part of the Older?
Decided that the investigation was the reason It is a sharp of golden algae that eliminates oxygen to organisms. The latter appeared in large quantities As a result of high temperature Excessive salinity of the river caused by pollution that has reached water from the mines and industrial plants of Silessia.
The disaster triggered a debate In appropriate ways to protect rivers. As a result, the ODER had legal personality and could be represented before the courts. If this scheme is approved in Parliament, ODER will be the second river of Europe with its own laws.
The situation is complicated by its size
According to the environmental enthusiasts, Oter, the second Pickth River in PolandStill not protected. In August 2024 He was recaptured by a large amount of fish in him Death: Digerono Dui is only in the water of the reservoir of up to 115,900 kg. According to experts, the situation will continue if the authorities do not use adequate legal proceedings and the way to eradicate algae.
However, the situation is complicated, because the river crosses many provinces, which raises a problem, even if it is a regional fragment of companies that can cause the river’s legal position and the area it occupies. ODER should be referred to Overall, Authorization is necessary According to environmental activists, his legal personality.
Almost three months ago, this attempt was awarded to a civic bill to Sejm. “The Odor River is an integrated environmental system that its resources, functions and rights will be protected by the rules of this law,” the bill says. Advertisers are up to the end of April Collect 100,000 signatures in this case. If they win, the project will go to parliament.
In an interview with ‘Euronows’, the phrase “I Yes The River” is created among the workers, ”says Lucas Lapinsky, an environmental activist and director of environmental projects in Archigilima. “It’s not a metaphor. This phrase is well illustrated why security is important Of rivers. Olga Tocker’s words. The river basins are the most natural lands we live. When you live in a particular place in the world, there is a concrete river basin in your body, your nerves. Body, materially. Our body is 90% of water, which is the water of the river basin. Look under your feet: each puddle, every drop of the snow is a river basin. “
Lopinski Lucas as it says, This perspective does not allow the Older to see Otherwise, like a person. “We are as part of the nature of this hydrographic basin, and we call the river. Since it is simple legal instruments to recognize the legitimate personality of the river, there is nothing to protect the rights of the river (except for the interests of the pollutants).
A company yes, a river?
Rivers from all over the world They were already becoming legal companies. Thanks to a large number of signatures, Laguna Dell Mar Manor can be mentioned before the courts. The Macbi River has been provided with subjective From the Wanganui River in Canada or New Zealand.
In Ecuador, a river can be referred to by any resident. The idea may appear to be newBut according to Lucas Lapinsky, it is not really innovative to provide subjective to companies other than human beings.
“The idea in its essence is very simple. Recognize the legal personality of a river in the same way we recognize in the case of a company. A company is completely ‘virtual’. People have agreed to consider companies to be people, and no one is surprised today, ”says the environmental activist. A river, meanwhile, is alive, a real company. “
“What does it oppose to recognize the legal personality of a river? Our beliefs are only. Recognize the legal personality of the Oter River This is the basis to ensure your rights. In the event of damage, you can confirm your rights by civil. This is not possible without this law. Nowadays, Recognition of legal personality It seems to be a great step from the Oter River. I think this is clear to us as the legal personality of the companies in a few years. “
Older’s rights
Ecological experts point out a multi -dimension today The word “river”. It is not only about water, but they argue, but they argue about all the creatures that live in it, which have been significantly affected by the last major river disaster. “Water can be toldFlowing water. Is the river a fish that lives in its water and a bird on its shore? Is it land, stone, kalamus, reed, frog and dragonfly? We call an organism that gives life to other countless creatures.
Authorization is our decision Or takes into account that this is not a river as a person, and this is not an adequate answer to the question: who and what a river. At the same time, it is a Adequate response to change the form In it we talk about the river and change the law that protects it, ”propaganda authors write Or 2025 person.
“The law was created The concept of ‘legal person’ Companies, businesses, communities, co -operatives, churches, universities, parties or associations and foundations. Be a legal personOr the company must have a value that can be protected, for example, in its name in front of the court.
AdvertisementThe legitimate person is a strut, a shield, An instrument in the hands of the law Refer to and protect a particular structure, a group, but a land or river. If companies can be considered legitimate people, why shouldn’t a living river be considered? “
