National and regional experiences in integrating human rights into public policies and programmes A. Compliance of State entities and domestic laws, policies and programmes with international human rights standards Mexico: constitutional reform in the area of human rights 20. The constitutional reform adopted in Mexico in 2011 gave constitutional status to all of the human rights guaranteed in the international treaties to which Mexico is a party. The reform provided the country with a strong new legal framework, opening the way for the harmonization of national legislation and policy with international and regional standards; withdrawal of reservations and interpretative declarations; and opportunities for renewed national dialogue and coordination around human rights priorities. OHCHR supported the Government’s efforts towards constitutional reform. Over several years, in the context of a technical cooperation agreement, OHCHR-Mexico supported important initiatives, including the training of judges and the provision of advice to the Supreme Court of Justice on key human rights issues; consultations and advocacy activities promoting consensus within the Federal Congress; and the participation of civil society and academia in relation to issues of common concern. 21. Once the reform was approved, OHCHR-Mexico, in collaboration with the Supreme Court of Justice, the National Human Rights Commission of the Federal District (Mexico City) and the Centro de Investigación Aplicada en Derechos Humanos supported the development of a web-based educational tool, “Reforma DH”,2 on the implementation of the constitutional reform. Reforma DH is a key methodological tool to promote the implementation of the constitutional reform at the federal and state levels. It comprises nine modules, based on the contents of article 1 of the Constitution, and an add-on module on the sources of international human rights law. The aim of Reforma DH is to assist the implementation of the reform by providing the State and representatives of civil society with the conceptual, analytical and procedural tools necessary to advance the realization of human rights. Myanmar: adoption of the National Human Rights Commission Law 22. Established in September 2011, the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC) has carried out various activities to promote and protect human rights, including promoting the ratification by Myanmar of core international human rights treaties; handling more than 4,000 complaints; and raising awareness of human rights among the relevant ministries and the general public. 23. OHCHR provided support to MNHRC through activities such as seminars for government staff, parliamentarians and civil society; training for staff and commissioners; 1 2 A/HRC/26/51, para. 27. “Reforma DH: recurso para la formación en derechos humanos”, available from www.reformadh.org.mx. 5
