Abstract

The legalization of mining in Colombia has increased the participation of transnational corporations in the country, however extraction processes are harmful not only to the environment but also to the communities living in the richest municipalities in minerals, for instance “La Jagua de Ibirico”, hence it important to determine the responsibility of business involvement in the commission of the crime of extermination in such a community, revealing the selective nature of criminal law and international criminal law accordingly.

Keywords:
