Responding to additional comments, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs noted that in line with the constitutional reform, all Mexican judges — federal and local — were obliged to ensure that decisions conformed not only to national law, but also to international human rights law, as set out in the treaties to which Mexico was a party. 108. Recently the Supreme Court — as the constitutional court — had decided that all jurisprudence from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, even in those cases in which Mexico was not a litigating party, was binding. By incorporating Inter-American Court of Human Rights jurisprudence, Mexico was able to incorporate into national law other sources of international law in addition to the treaties. 109.
