Ombudsman, 30 years after its Establishment in Mexico. From the Swedish Model to the Sui Generis Autonomy in the Mexican State

Abstract

This work presents an analysis of the establishment of the protection of human rights from the perspective of Comparative law, taking as the beginning the history of the Swedish state and the way in which, based on collaboration, it founded a model of international law that enabled the protection of citizens from the arbitrariness of the authority. After establishing a conceptual framework, this article analyzes the model implemented in Mexico to protect human rights, and highlights the criticism made by jurists, because the National Human Rights Commission did not have autonomy in its original layout. Finally, this text analyzes the path that this Commission has taken and the way in which it is expected to carry out its activities, as well as the international panorama of human rights regarding the Ombudsman.
