The National Human Rights Council (CNDH) prioritizes following-up and assessing public policies as a crucial aspect of its strategy, recognizing its vital role in protecting and promoting human rights and addressing critical issues in society.
In this regard, the CNDH regularly offers assistance and advice to the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors in evaluating human rights-related public policies. The CNDH underscores the need for a comprehensive modernization of public policies, emphasizing transparency, data integration and the allocation of sufficient financial resources for sectors like education, health and social security. Additionally, it advocates for accelerating fiscal reforms to foster social justice.
The CNDH also stresses the importance of implementing the role of national institutions working in the areas of environment, water and climate. Furthermore, it recognizes the effective role of civil society organizations in promoting citizen participation and calls for the establishment of a legal framework for public consultation to enable their meaningful contribution to the country's development.
Amidst current challenges and crises, the CNDH sees an opportunity to shift the prevailing approach to public policies by adopting "reflexive thinking," as an integrated approach into the analysis and evaluation of public policies, allowing transforming past experiences in public policies into valuable lessons.
It is noteworthy that CNDH conducts consultative meetings, adopting a participatory human rights-based approach, to develop its annual and thematic reports, memoranda and advisory opinions. This process aims to foster the convergence and integration of ideas, forming a comprehensive vision of the CNDH role and its significance in enhancing the effectiveness and justice of public policies.
