Document by María Eugenia Di Paola, FARN

The e-dialogue which took place from August 11-29, 2003, had the objective to analyze Latin America judges and prosecutors' role, regarding environmental enforcement and compliance, considering the difficulties that judges and prosecutors have to face, and the positive and negative experiences from various countries.

The conclusions of the e-dialogue do not only have an important value per se, based in the exchange of opinions and experiences of judges, prosecutors, civil society, Academia and governmental sector, but also contributed to the agenda of the Symposium of Judges and Prosecutors in Latin America - Environmental Compliance and Enforcement, that was carried out on September 23rd and 24th in the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The conclusions of this document were made possible thanks to the extremely constructive and fruitful comments and contributions of its participants. I would like to extend my recognition to the work team with which we are organizing this activity, in a collaborative effort of FARN and the World Bank Institute.
