Resumen
POESCHE, Jürgen. Climate Law in Anahuac (the Americas). Díkaion [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.1, pp.148-176. Epub 16-Jun-2022. ISSN 0120-8942. https://doi.org/10.5294/dika.2022.31.1.7.
The combination of ideologies rooted in modernity and the increasingly extremist extractivism have corrupted Western law since 1492 to create the illusion of legality of the violence against the Indigenous Nations in Anahuac (the Americas), their worldviews, and the universe. This corruption has deprived Western law of the ability to protect the West from itself and erected episte-mological obstacles detrimental to the capability of Western law and natural sciences to prevent the climate crisis. This study argues that success in tackling the climate crisis requires complete elimination of corruption from Western law, i.e., returning to pre-modern Western law or adopting another basis, e.g., the normative aspects of Indigenous Nations' worldviews.
