Define las competencias del Procurador General, los procuradores adjuntos y demás funcionarios. Aunque su ámbito principal es administrativo y procesal, esta ley es relevante para el derecho ambiental en tanto la Procuraduría emite opiniones jurídicas y defiende al Estado en litigios relacionados con normativa ambiental, tierras del Patrimonio Natural del Estado y recursos naturales. No contiene disposiciones sustantivas sobre protección ambiental, sino que establece el marco institucional para la intervención jurídica estatal en todas las materias, incluyendo la ambiental.",
  "summary_en": "Law No. 11, Organic Law of the Attorney General's Office, establishes the structure, functions, and powers of this body as the legal advisor to the Costa Rican State. It regulates the State's legal representation in judicial proceedings, the defense of public interests, and the issuance of binding legal opinions. It defines the competencies of the Attorney General, deputy attorneys, and other officials. Although its main scope is administrative and procedural, this law is relevant to environmental law because the Attorney General's Office issues legal opinions and defends the State in litigation related to environmental regulations, lands of the State Natural Heritage, and natural resources. It contains no substantive provisions on environmental protection but rather establishes the institutional framework for State legal intervention in all matters, including environmental matters.",
