The 2008 Reform to the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States in matters of Victims of Crimes (Rights and Guarantees: The Law of the Weakest)

Resumen

One of the main concerns in relation to attention to victims is taking into account the present day legal framework, analyzing the changes that arose with the reform of June 18, 2008 in the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, coming into full force on June 18, 2016 when the oral adversarial system takes effect. In this system bio-psycho-social attention to victims must be integral in order to comply with the commitments Mexico acquired in matters of Human Rights established in the constitutional reform of June 10, 2011. The reparation of damages suffered stands out as an element which should be integral for victims with an approach of restorative justice, being both of good quality and treatment, attending victims who are in conditions of vulnerability such as girls, boys, adolescents, women, the elderly, people with disabilities, migrants and Indigenous peoples in a specialized way.
