Mexico commits ecocide considers Court of the Rights of Nature

The International Tribunal of the Rights of Nature, considers an ecocide and an ethnocide the flagship work of the Government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Tren Maya.
“The Court’s verdict highlights the violation of the rights of nature and the biocultural rights of the Mayan people, who have been and continue to be guardians of their territory, cenotes, caves, jungles, biodiversity and traditional crops. It is considered a crime of ecocide and ethnocide, and the Court holds the Mexican State responsible,” the report reflected.

The International Tribunal on the Rights of Nature is an international institution created by citizens to investigate and publicize violations of environmental rights.
In its verdict, signed by jurists, economists and international environmentalists, it declares that the Mayan Train violates the rights of the land to be respected, to regenerate its biocapacity and to continue its life cycles without human alterations.
And it is that the construction of this work has gone through various problems between suspensions and demonstrations, such as that District Courts in Yucatan and Campeche have granted the provisional suspension of works of the Mayan Train in Chocholá, Mérida and Izamal and Miguel Colorado.
With claims for unconstitutional acts and social, cultural, environmental, health and patrimonial damages, among others, the work has against it more than a dozen collective and individual amparo lawsuits, promoted in federal courts in Campeche, Yucatán, Quintana Roo and Chiapas.  
In the case of Chocholá, Mérida and Izamal, the lawsuit against the Mayan Train was promoted since last July by the Kanan Derechos Humanos and Múuch Xíinbal collectives, due to the lack of information during the public consultation of the Environmental Impact Statement (MIA) of the controversial project.
