The article discusses environmental law enforcement in Mexico and ways constitutional entrenchment could mitigate conflicts and poverty in resource-rich African countries. According to the author, environmental law enforcement in Mexico can be very problematic. Laws are inefficient, complicated and incomplete. Officials are not prepared to enforce them so they ignore them because they do not receive enough preparation, skills or training in enforcing them. Meanwhile, to mitigate conflicts and poverty in African countries, the parliament should ensure rigorousness in ensuring accountability and transparency as well as determination of standards for promotion of socio-economic development. These conditions should be entrenched in the national constitution to ensure stability.
