RESUMEN
Se busca hacer evidente la necesidad de que se establezca la conservación de las especies en la política internacional del Ecuador, utilizando el caso: tráfico de aletas de tiburón. Para esto se realiza una descripción detallada del contexto nacional y global alrededor de la práctica conocida como ‘aleteo’; del rol de los organismos internacionales pertinentes al tema, de los aprendizajes a partir de la experiencia de la explotación de marfil de elefante y cuerno de rinoceronte y de los desafíos presentados por la carencia de carácter coercitivo del derecho internacional.
Este documento deja en claro la importancia de que se reconozca las debilidades que existen dentro del Ecuador al momento de la aplicación de las normas nacionales relacionadas a la protección de su vida silvestre y realiza una propuesta para mitigar la depredación de la especie tiburón y desincentivar la práctica del aleteo contemplando el rol de los actores locales, a través de una visión de Estado al momento de plantear normativas y de los actores internacionales; a pesar de que el acatamiento de sus resoluciones a nivel internacional pueda ser en muchos casos solo moral.
This document seeks to define the need for the conservation of the species as an integral part of Ecuador’s international policy using the case of shark finning and the multimillion dollar business of illegal international trafficking of shark fins. In order to accomplish this goal the document explores both global and local realities around the practice known as shark finning, the role of international organizations, similar case studies of exploitation of animal body parts like the elephant’s tusks and the rhinoceros’ horn. It also takes under consideration the challenges presented by the traditional lack of strong coercive sanctions in international law. This text also notes the importance of acknowledging the fact that Ecuador’s authorities are found weak and absent when it comes to enforcing the regulations pertaining to the protection of its wildlife and therefore proposes an alternative to mitigating the predatory practices affecting the shark species and the commerce of its fin towards preventing its continued depredation. This proposal takes under consideration the role played by national authorities and its regulations and that of international organizations, even though when it comes tom international law in many cases it may only translate to abiding by their resolutions as is merely a moral determination.
