| Sumario: | According to official figures, in Mexico there is a clear reluctance to accept that minors are entitled to the rights already contained in the Constitution and laws. This explains, in large part, why the recognition and guarantee of the rights of children is not even a visible issue in the public agenda. However, with the historic constitutional reform on human rights approved in June this year, the issue becomes more important. This article attempts to provide some key interpretations of the revolutionary reform on human rights, and also argues that the difficulties in recognizing the rights of children and adolescents present new challenges around the legal framework for the adequate protection of the rights of this vulnerable group in Mexico. |
