Implement 2011 Constitutional Reform on Human Rights to protect victims: CNDH
Conversatory "Advances and Challenges in the Implementation of the Constitutional Reform in the field of Human Rights, 10 years after its promulgation"
At the opening of the discussion On Progress and Challenges in the Implementation of the Constitutional Reform in the field of Human Rights, 10 years after its promulgation, he indicated that, although this amendment made it possible to expand the cndh’s mandate, by incorporating the pro persona principle in the defense and promotion of human rights, “it has been set aside in practice, so it is necessary to take measures to harmonize the Law of this National Agency.”
Piedra Ibarra indicated that since he took office, it has been determined that in all actions of the CNDH, the interest of the victims and of all those at risk of being victims must prevail, as well as the rescue and the full validity of the pro persona principle.
In turn, the Executive Secretary of this National Agency, Francisco Estrada Correa, stressed that this meeting is the propitious framework to reflect on the work that “we still have to do in each of the participating institutions, to consolidate the implementation of the constitutional reform in the field of human rights, which requires redoubled efforts and institutional capacities to achieve this objective.”
He said that the proposal to make the CNDH an ombudsman’s office does not break the tradition of the Ombdusperson, on the contrary, “it is in fact, the demand for the full exercise of Article 1 of the Constitution, something that the victims need, and they also demand it of us,” and reiterated that this Organization will continue to exercise in an integral way the powers granted by the Constitutional Reform in its tasks of protection and defense of the human rights of Mexican women and women.
