Abstract
The relationship between Mexico and human rights treaty bodies has been paradigmatic due to the adoption of a foreign policy based on an openness to international scrutiny that is not reflected in the internal situation of human rights. An example of this contradiction is the case of the rights of migrants in Mexico. The objective of this article is to analyze the effects of mechanisms of the United Nations System of Human Rights, specifically the Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families in Mexico, to determine the scope of the impact of civil society on the guarantee of human rights of migrants despite the lack of international consensus regarding the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.
La relación de México con los órganos de tratados de derechos humanos ha sido paradigmática debido a la adopción de una política exterior basada en una apertura al escrutinio internacional que no se refleja en la situación interna de los derechos humanos. Un ejemplo de esta contradicción es el caso de los derechos de los migrantes en el país. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los efectos de los mecanismos del Sistema de las Naciones Unidas de Derechos Humanos, específicamente del Comité de Protección de los Derechos de Todos los Trabajadores Migratorios y de sus Familiares en México, para determinar el alcance de la incidencia de la sociedad civil en la garantía de los derechos humanos de los migrantes a pesar de la falta de consenso internacional en torno a la Convención Internacional sobre la Protección de los Derechos de Todos los Trabajadores Migratorios y de sus Familiares.
期刊介绍:
Latin American Policy (LAP): A Journal of Politics and Governance in a Changing Region, a collaboration of the Policy Studies Organization and the Escuela de Gobierno y Transformación Pública, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Santa Fe Campus, published its first issue in mid-2010. LAP’s primary focus is intended to be in the policy arena, and will focus on any issue or field involving authority and polities (although not necessarily clustered on governments), agency (either governmental or from the civil society, or both), and the pursuit/achievement of specific (or anticipated) outcomes. We invite authors to focus on any crosscutting issue situated in the interface between the policy and political domain concerning or affecting any Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) country or group of countries. This journal will remain open to multidisciplinary approaches dealing with policy issues and the political contexts in which they take place.
