The organs of the State and its author ities are res ponsible for ensuring its
legitima cy, respec t and promotion of human rights . In the most part these
rights, are c ontained in the Constit ution and intern ational treaties signed by the
Executi ve Power and ratifi e d by o ne or both cham ber s by C ong res s or P arl iame nt,
and within other laws. It should be noted that in the inte rnational contex t, the
obligations of States have incr eased with the sig ning and ratifi cation of various
international ins trument s on human rights that est ablish obligations of the part y
State before the people.
In this regard, since th e eighties the Inter-Amer ican Court of Human Rig hts
(CIDH) [Spanish Acronyms ] has played an import ant role in pointing out that the
object and purpo se of international t reaties on human r ights is the protect ion of
persons indep endently of their nationalit y, as against their ow n state and as well
as other adhering States .
Precis ely, the Judiciar y Power, in various countr ies, has played a r elevant role
in the interpret ation of international t reaties s igned and ratifi ed, such as those
relating to human right s, which are located hierarchically ab ove the law and, the-
refore, in the conditions of the Const itution, even the in the same level. Howe ver
the most important s teps occur whe n a constitut ion grants that all persons shall
enjoy the rights r ecognized in the ir Constitut ion and International t reaties, en -
couraging at all t imes people would have the most complete protect ion; such was
the case of Mexico w ith the publication in the Diario Ofi cial de la Federación on
June 10, 2011, of the constitutional refor m.
Thus, in the content s of this issue 28 of the IUS Journal, entitled Th e State,
Constitution , Internation al Law and Human Rights is of particular value for
everyone by pretending to be an actual tool for students, ac ademics and, above
all, to public offi cials responsible for the enforc e and respec t of the content of
international human r ights and its inst ruments s igned and rat ifi ed by Mexico.
Therefore, this is sue feature s articles on the un iversalit y, the transnat ional di-
mension and mainstr eaming of human rights , the non-jurisd ictional sy stem of
protection, the domest ic judicial cont rol of conventionalit y in Mexic o and the
guilt y verdicts is sued by the Commission, the i ndividual c ases of children of the
streets , the right to equalit y and the non-discr imination princ iple. Finally, two
specifi c situations : the concept of constit utional obligations and dut ies in the
Spanish Constitut ion of 1978, and the subject of Canadian indigenous peoples.
