En la actualidad, los problemas ambientales son complejos y el daño ambiental –el cual es definido por el artículo 27 de la Ley General del Ambiente - adquiere otra dimensión cuando el sistema jurídico no previene, no limita, no resarce ni repara; cuando el Estado en sus diferentes niveles y a través de sus funcionarios no controla, no ejerce su poder de policía y desampara; cuando dicho daño traspasa las fronteras de lo imaginable y perdura en el tiempo, por décadas, vulnerando los derechos fundamentales de los más débiles tales como la vida, la salud, el bienestar, el ambiente sano y equilibrado, el "proyecto de vida" -como postula Fernández Sessarego (2015) y que es aquel producido por todo acto dañino que impide que el ser humano se realice existencialmente de conformidad con el proyecto libremente escogido- y, básicamente, la dignidad humana.
Nine nautical miles off the east coast of peninsular Malaysia, strung along the middle arc of the Seribuat Archipelago, the roving eye will spot a clutch of sun-washed islands.
