CAT/OP/MEX/1/Add.2 Progress by states in the implementation of the criminal justice system 35. At the state level, legislative reforms, beginning with the introduction of the new accusatorial criminal justice system in Mexico, were carried out between 20041 and May 2012 by 11 of the 32 federal entities, of which three now operate the accusatorial model throughout their territories and the remaining eight do so partially, i.e. either in part of their territory or on the basis of a list of offences. 36. Also, three states now have a code of criminal procedure and a fixed and definite date for entry into force of the accusatorial system, while sixteen are at an advanced stage of planning their reforms, with only two states still at the initial stage of planning the regulatory and organizational changes to give effect to the constitutional mandate.
