In the course of the last century, progress has made regarding the recognition of human rights. However, in most recent decades, the question of whether this recognition of rights should be extended to other living species has arisen. Building on this debate, it is worth wondering whether it would be possible to recognize rights in favor nonhuman animals, in Peru.This article seeks to outline the main advances made in the recognition of animal rights, starting from a historical evolution recount of the recognition of animal welfare since the 17th century, times in which animals were an object of the human environment, until the first decades of the 21st century, where animal interests begin to be legislated. Furthermore, having analyzed the similarities and differences between human beings and animals, this article presents the possible categories attributable to the latter. Lastly, it identifies the current role of animals in social practices and how their right or interest is collected by the legal system, to suggest alternatives for its regulation.

Climate change is one of the main issues we face not only as a country but on a global scale, and it has challenged several countries to achieve a shifiting in state policies, forelooking the climate component’s transversality.Therefore, this article aims to argue the importance of a public policy oriented to climate change adaptation and the influence of the Framework Climate Change Law for the enforzability of decision making for the execution of such policy. Thus, since it is a challenge –as a country- to understand the need of adaptation policies, which are diff erent from mitigation policies, towards the insurance of environmental sustainability for future generations. The climate change adaptation requires a transversal normative reformulation that allows the natural resources guardand the coexistence between environment and citizenship.

The influence of the Responsive Regulation Theory in administrative law and, especially, in the areas associated with environmental management has brought into debate both the redefinition of the role of regulatory agencies and the relevance of an increasingly dominant persuasive approach as an alternative to the repressive character of law.In this article, the author seeks to examine the postulates of the Ayres and Braithwaite’s theory and, using several legal instruments among wich stands out the new Monitoring Regulation, analyze its reception in the regulatory policy of the Environmental Monitoring and Assesment Agency (Spanish: OEFA).

The way in which the private property regime is structured often delimits the way in which a society is organized. In the mining aspect, ownership of natural resources is usually the main reason for the proper functioning of the system or endless disputes between native communities and state agencies.In this sense, in order to better understand how the pubic domain system is structured on natural resources in our country, Milagros Mutsios explains in this article the four main public domain theories of natural resources and delves into the various concepts that influence the adoption or operation of each of these.
