Mexican Supreme Court on Immigration

Written by Simon

Tuesday, 18 December 2007

In a major change of policy the Mexican Supreme Court ruling in a case about immigrant workers held that the International Convention on the Protection of Immigrant Workers is above Mexican Law

The Supreme Court determined that the International Convention about the Protection of the Immigrant Workers

Rights adopted by the UN is above of what the General Population Law stipulates.*

Therefore, employers are obligated to meet the obligations agreed under contract and payment of all benefits.

In this matter, the Court determined that the International Convention about the Protection of all Immigrant

Workers and their Families, adopted by the United Nations (UN) on December 18, 1990 is above of what the General

Population Law stipulates.

* Note from translator: This law in Mexico rules, among other things, transit of immigrants in and out of the

country, activities of foreigners while in Mexico, and emigration and repatriation of connationals.

Published in La Jornada newspaper .

Mexico is adjusting their thinking to the international standard about the way immigrants should be treated. What the standard lacks is a clear statement that responsible people should have the right to live where they choose. More about the UN Convention on Immigrant Rights
