“The SCA notes that the Law does not provide the CNDH with an explicit mandate to encourage ratification or accession to international human rights instruments. 

The SCA is of the view that encouraging ratification of, or accession to, international human rights instruments is a key function of an NHRI. 

The SCA acknowledges the activities the CNDH has undertaken in this regard. However, the SCA encourages the CNDH to advocate for amendments to the enabling legislation to mandate it with explicit responsibility to encourage ratification or accession to international human rights instruments.”
