In environmental matters, apart from a fundamental right, the Chilean Constitution includes protection obligations and a restriction-of-rights clause. The normative configuration of the environment issue in the Constitution establishes a strong protection of the environment that, in practice, appears weakened. Albeit from different characteristics, it similarly occurs with environment-related international treaties.

Keywords : pollution-free environment; landscape protection; environmental heritage conservation; protection obligations.
