BECERRA RAMIREZ, Manuel. The illegality of Donald Trump’s wall. Anu. Mex. Der. Inter [online]. 2020, vol.20, pp.723-753. Epub 19-Mar-2021. ISSN 1870-4654. https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24487872e.2020.20.14495.
This paper analyzes, from the perspective of international law, the impact of the construction of a wall by the United States government on the border with Mexico. Based on studies of experts in ecology, the impact on the ecosystem of the introduction of an aggressive and intrusive element such as the construction of a wall in the border region is analyzed. The border is regulated by a large number of international legal norms, which, with the construct nion of a wall, the United States violates by irreversibly damaging the ecosystem of the region. Precisely, contemporary international environmental law limits the internal sovereignty of States, in relation to acts that may harm neighbours.
