Mexico Violated NAFTA Rules, Tribunal Rules | Huntsville News

An international tribunal has ruled that Mexico violated NAFTA by blocking Vulcan Materials’ access to two of its three land parcels in the Yucatan Peninsula in 2018, siding with the U.S. company on this key point—but rejecting other claims and ordering both sides to pay their own legal fees. The dispute traces back to threats from Mexico’s former president to seize Vulcan’s gravel pits unless it accepted a $360 million offer, and the tribunal also dismissed Mexico’s environmental arguments, calling its regulators biased. Crucially, the ruling doesn’t address more recent actions like property rights seizures or occupations, and Vulcan insists Mexico can’t twist the decision to cover those later moves, emphasizing the tribunal found Mexico acted without good faith and denied due process.
