Resumen
The aim of this paper is to analyse the main universal and regional environmental legal instruments applicable to the construction of defensive walls, as well as the international standards for the protection of living natural resources and certain shared resources, such as international watercourses. Additionally, as such actions can give rise to violations of conventionally protected environmental human rights, it will also examine the case law of the European and inter-American protection systems.
