The fundamental rights of the crime victim have been strengthened through the establishment of the accusatorial criminal procedure in the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States. The problem is that important rules of the National Code of Criminal Procedures are still restrictive in terms of their constitutional rights. The current paper aims at analyzing the right of the crime victim to become an active part of the criminal procedure and as a result, this right could turn into a guarantee to provide effective access to every single stage of the criminal procedure for the adequate and timely defense of their interests according to due process of law. It is concluded that this right is the nucleus of a jurisprudence doctrine issued by the Federal Tribunals to progressively broaden the scope of the adjectival rights of the victim in conditions of procedural equity with the defendant's rights. This is a documentary research developed within the framework of the theory of guarantee procedural law through the analytical and hermeneutic methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research on gender violence has been conducted since the sixties. The problem has been conceptualized and documented, although not necessarily looked after. Oaxaca stands out as one of the states where women are more likely to be attacked. This paper analyzes gender violence in Ayutla, a Mixe community of Oaxaca. Data were gathered through quantitative and qualitative methods. The main results are: psychological violence is the most common one; numerous cases of incest and ravishment occur; economic violence generally involves men totally abandoning women; local and State authorities exercise institutional violence by neglecting women s charges. The paper analyzes women's discursive strategies to re-signify their rights, and a successful case of rape within marriage which strengthened the struggle for such rights. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This papers aims to provide a socio-legal account of the impact of Monterrey’s legal regulation on migrants and human rights in the lives of thousands of migrants in an irregular situation coming from Central American. On the one hand, the Law on Migration was analyzed from the perspective of the human rights constitutional reform of 2011. On the other hand, a qualitative research was done, finding evidence of the inefficacy of the new law. It is argued that the attainment of the new law objectives’ requires a change in the anti-migrant institutional legal culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the theoretical and operational criteria followed by El Consejo Nacional de Evaluación de la Política de Desarrollo Social (The National Council for Evaluation of the Social Development Policy, Coneval) to define the methodology for measuring multidimensional poverty. The multidimensional methodology was launched in 2009 and establishes the way in which poverty is officially identified and measured in Mexico. The methodology is illustrated with data for 2010 and 2012. This form of measurement has three characteristics that make it different from other methods. First, this approach uses a multidimensional method based on universal social rights. Second, unlike other theoretical-methodological paradigms for multidimensional poverty measurement that combine all dimensions into a single index, the identification of people in poverty, under this perspective, uses a bivariate Euclidian space measure. Income is evaluated on the first space, while a number of social deprivations are quantified on the second space. Third, the methodology classifies the population into different groups according to their poverty or vulnerable status, which helps to recommend differentiated public policy strategies and actions for each economic and social dimension. This allows more efficiency not only in targeting the poor but also in distributing social budgets. A fourth element, shared with other approaches, refers to the possibility of disaggregating the poverty measure for different groups of populations, such as, age, sex, ethnicity and territorial level.

On this work we propose a study on migration, beginning with the revision of the social condition of these Central American emigrants while passing through Mexico, while the violations to their human rights are exposed. This previous idea is developed under the base that even though, migration is not a recent fact, it is a social phenomenon with several transformations in the national policies, as well as, in the reconfiguration of Mexican society. This is the reason why, before this phenomenon dynamic, we propose a different vision that allows the consolidation of this culture of respect to human rights, as well as, an adjustment of the legal framework in order to achieve the highest effectiveness of the regulation, accepting it not only in the paper, but also as a reality that guarantees the legal framework the well being of individuals above some illegal conducts contrary to their human rights, encouraging a combination of acceptance and tolerance to allow harmonic social coexistence.

Using Michel Foucault's genealogical method, this paper argues that human rights consciousness first appeared in Mexico as the result of an eclectic combination of two political tendencies: transition to democracy and liberation theology In this way of thinking, civil and political rights were considered to have the same importance as economic, social, and cultural rights. However, human rights cause lost ground as it became subordinated to the transition-to-democracy cause, and human rights issues related to socio-economic inequality were put on the back burner. As the economic situation worsened, NGOs are finally addressing economic and social problems, but have not been able to revert the effects of years of neglect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
