SUMMARY:

This research addresses critically and transdisciplinarity the ethical dilemmas of scientific progress in relation to governance, the human right to science, and scientific responsibility in contexts of structural inequality. Methodologically, the research is designed as a qualitative case study, focusing on the 2016 ruling T-622 of the Constitutional Court of Colombia, which recognized the Atrato River as a subject of rights. Through this paradigmatic case, the study examines how scientific and technological developments affect collective rights, ancestral knowledge, and cultural diversity, particularly in historically marginalized ethnic territories. The theoretical framework encompasses key notions such as cognitive extractivism, knowledge colonialism, bioprospecting, and the human right to science in its dimensions of access, participation, and benefit. Additionally, the thesis proposes a re-interpretation of scientific governance through the lens of epistemic justice and ecological constitutionalism, emphasizing the need for responsible scientific practices and ethical anticipation of the socio-environmental impacts of technological development. The thesis is structured around three main categories of analysis: (i) cognitive extractivism and epistemic colonialism; (ii) the structural connection between human rights and cultural diversity; and (iii) scientific responsibility and the ecological constitution. This approach reveals tensions between science, power, and justice, and formulates normative and institutional proposals aimed at democratizing knowledge and protecting biocultural territories. The study concludes with recommendations to strengthen inclusive and ethical scientific governance in Colombia.
