In favor of the ratification of the injunction filed by the AMDA
The SCJN's decision favors the protection, promotion and defense of human rights.
The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) supports the ratification of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), issued on May 12, regarding the amparo ruling presented by the Mexican Association of Hearings Defenders (AMDA) since 2017.
The ruling, issued by the First District Judge in Administrative Matters of this City in 2019, must annul the second and third paragraphs of Article 256 of the Federal Law on Telecommunications and Broadcasting (LFTyR), and Congress must reinstate the original paragraphs, giving back to the Federal Institute of Telecommunications (IFT) the power to issue guidelines in the matter.
In 2017, fundamental articles for the exercise of the rights of hearings were modified, directly affecting the mechanisms for their protection established in the Mexican Constitution. The effect of these reforms limited the ift’s powers to issue guidelines for the defense of the rights of audiences that established homogeneous criteria for concessionaires, leaving in the field of self-regulation to the concessionaires themselves the attention, protection and guarantee of those rights without any participation of the regulatory body.
