HUMAN RIGHTS PROMOTION IN THE STATE OF MEXICO JUDICIAL POWER

Abstract

This article analyzes the human rights promotion by State authorities from the perspective of a constitutional obligation established since June 2011. Furthermore, it highlights the benefits of promotional activities as well as their contribution to consolidate a human rights culture. In this regard, special attention is paid to the cultural promotional activities carried out during the last months by the State of Mexico Judicial Power to determine if they comply with the obligation established in the first article of the Constitution: to promote the human rights within the scope of their competence. Finally, a sound proposal is presented so that the State authorities release the information about the human rights affecting the jurisdictional aspect. That is, these authorities make known how the fundamental rights are recognized and applied when resolving disputes, at the same time that they keep focused on their main function of enforcing the law.
