Download or read book Mexico s Human Rights Crisis written by Alejandro Anaya-Muñoz and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawless elements are ascendant in Mexico, as evidenced by the operations of criminal cartels engaged in human and drug trafficking, often with the active support or acquiescence of government actors. The sharp increase in the number of victims of homicide, disappearances and torture over the past decade is unparalleled in the country's recent history. According to editors Alejandro Anaya-Muñoz and Barbara Frey, the "war on drugs" launched in 2006 by President Felipe Calderón and the corrupting influence criminal organizations have on public institutions have empowered both state and nonstate actors to operate with impunity. Impunity, they argue, is the root cause that has enabled a human-rights crisis to flourish, creating a climate of generalized violence that is carried out, condoned, or ignored by the state and precluding any hope for justice. Mexico's Human Rights Crisis offers a broad survey of the current human rights issues that plague Mexico. Essays focus on the human rights consequences that flow directly from the ongoing "war on drugs" in the country, including violence aimed specifically at women, and the impunity that characterizes the government's activities. Contributors address the violation of the human rights of migrants, in both Mexico and the United States, and cover the domestic and transnational elements and processes that shape the current human rights crisis, from the state of Mexico's democracy to the influence of rulings by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on the decisions of Mexico's National Supreme Court of Justice. Given the scope, the contemporaneity, and the gravity of Mexico's human rights crisis, the recommendations made in the book by the editors and contributors to curb the violence could not be more urgent.

La primera parte del libro contiene reflexiones acerca del derecho como fuerza transformadora de la realidad; los nexos entre las violencias pasadas y presentes en Latinoamérica; la conexión entre historia, política y subjetividad frente a los sujetos de las injusticias; la justicia reconstructiva y los derechos de las víctimas; la reivindicación de la memoria ineludible de muchos pueblos de Colombia; la Ley de Víctimas y Restitución de Tierras con relación al derecho a la memoria, al contrato de transacción y a la salud mental; y, por último, las actitudes favorables en la escuela desde una concepción de una pedagogía de los derechos humanos. La segunda parte del texto está compuesta por tres artículos: el primero aporta elementos para el diseño y la implementación de políticas y estrategias educativas a partir del análisis crítico de las propuestas de formación para la paz, la convivencia y la ciudadanía; el segundo analiza el principio de excepcionalidad de la privación de la libertad en el sistema de responsabilidad penal para adolescentes, tanto en la definición normativa como en las prácticas jurídicas generadas; y el tercero responde a dos concretos interrogantes acerca del sentido del artículo 44 de la Constitución Política, desde la jurisprudencia sentada por la Corte Constitucional colombiana
