ACADEMIC TEXT: HUMAN RIGHTS

Human Rights in Mexico refers to moral principles or norms that describe

certain standards of human behaviour in Mexico, and are regularly

protected as legal rights in municipal and international law. The

problems include torture, extrajudicial killings and summary executions,

police repression, sexual murder, and, more recently, news reporter

assassinations.

The Human Rights Watch reports that Mexican security forces have

enforced widespread disappearances since 2006. It also states that

Mexican security forces commit unlawful killings of civilians at an

alarmingly high rate and widely use torture including beatings,

waterboarding, electric shocks, and sexual abuse as a tool to gain

information from detained victims. In addition, it reports that the criminal

justice system is largely failing victims of violent crimes and human rights

violations when they seek justice and that attacks on journalists by

authorities or organized crime will cause them to self-censor. The report

also cites issues related to unaccompanied migrant children, women’s

and girls’ rights, sexual orientation and gender identity, palliative care,

and disability rights.

While the Mexican government has taken action to fight organized crime

in Mexico's drug war, security forces in Mexico have committed human

rights violations that include extrajudicial killings, enforced

disappearances, and torture. There have been limited efforts to

investigate and prosecute these abuses. Human rights in Mexico also

face difficulty in the battle to access reproductive rights and health care,

and have yet to solve problems involving violence against members of

the press.

 PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW

Section 1 Academic text

Public International Law is composed of the laws, rules, and principles

of general application that deal with the conduct of nation states and

international organisations among themselves as well as the

relationships between nation states and international organisations with

persons, whether natural or juridical. Public International Law is

sometimes called the "law of nations" or just simply International Law. It

should not be confused with Private International Law, which is primarily

concerned with the resolution of conflict of national laws, determining the

law of which country is applicable to specific situations.
