IX.
Promotion of cooperation between the State and
international human rights protection mechanisms
335. Mexico operates a policy of total openness and collaboration with international
human rights mechanisms. Within that framework a number of visits have been made to the
country by those bodies, resulting in a series of recommendations, and efforts are being
pursued to duly deal with their urgent appeals.
336. The most recurrent topics receiving the attention of these international human rights
mechanisms with respect to Mexico have been the elimination of the practice of preventive
custody, the successful implementation of the reform of the criminal justice system, the
adoption of human rights constitutional reforms, the need for reform of the military court
system so that it does not have jurisdiction over cases involving human rights violations
and military courts cannot try cases where the victims are civilians, and the establishment
of mechanisms to ensure that judicial decisions are promptly and fully executed and
enforced.
337. The Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment
or punishment visited Mexico from 7 to16 August 1997 in order to gather information from
a wide range of contacts and to be able to assess the situation with regard to the practice of
torture in the country. The Special Rapporteur prepared a report on his visit, containing his
conclusions and 19 recommendations concerning the situation of torture from the
perspective of his mandate.
338. Since that time the Mexican Government has submitted six annual reports with
updates on measures taken to combat torture.
339. During 2011, seven urgent appeals were received from the Special Rapporteur. Four
have been addressed and three are still to be dealt with. These appeals relate, in particular,
to the adoption of appropriate measures, including structural reforms, for the prevention of
outbreaks of violence in prisons and the elimination of the practice of preventive custody.
340. During 2012, one urgent appeal was received from this international mechanism.
Information from the authorities concerned is awaited.
