Abstract

Through Law 1437 of 2011, the contentious – administrative jurisdiction- State Council, was involved in the environmental sanctioning procedure, however, not in the way that an issue such as the environment requires, since such an issue demand for a much more individualized control, thus being able to think of the need for the Contentious Administrative Jurisdiction not to handle the environmental issue as one more, but for there to be a specialty that is essentially in charge of it. However, such considerations can only be supported according to the answer obtained when solving the question that is exposed here: is the control carried out by the Council of State of the environmental sanctioning precedures carried out by the Autonomous Corporations efficient?
