The minister Loretta Ortiz Alf acknowledged that there are structural failures in access to justice for citizens and high rates of impunity persist.
During the National Meeting for a Security and Justice Agenda, in Xalapa, he pointed out that “we cannot ignore that behind the self-criticism and the express recognition of the urgency of addressing structural failures in access to justice.”

He added that “there are thousands and thousands of personal stories in which the notions of security and justice are nothing more than vague concepts and unfulfilled promises. It is important to reiterate the discordant asymmetry that persists between the corpus iuris, national and international, in terms of human rights and the reality in which we live.”
For the minister, “it is unacceptable that 13 years after the start of this constitutional era, based on guarantees, we still have high levels of impunity and insecurity, which call into question the full enjoyment of human rights, especially for groups that have been historically discriminated against and are in a vulnerable situation.”
Constitutional courts are crucial institutions in our country, so we must have a judiciary whose work is framed within a broad, global and progressive vision of human rights, said the Supreme Court minister.
“Throughout my work as a constitutional judge, I have directly confirmed that all legal work and protection of human rights must take as a basic premise that access to the right to justice is an inalienable principle in any democratic society,” she said when opening the thirteenth National Meeting for a Security and Justice Agenda, based in Xalapa, Veracruz.
The judge of the First Chamber of the Court acknowledged that today the security and justice systems are at the center of public discussion, and therefore asked not to waste the opportunity and to engage in self-criticism and reflection, which will invariably lead to a better administration of justice and greater institutional legitimacy.

More than 200 people participated in this edition, who were organized into 16 working groups and discussed topics such as: the importance of accessing quality services, human rights and their guarantees; the specific public security problems of the federal entities; the different impacts on crime victims; the basic elements of the national system, the administration of justice and institutional structure, as well as the functioning of the Federal Judicial Branch.
In this context, Namiko Matzumoto Benítez, president of the State Commission on Human Rights in Veracruz, considered that only through an open, plural and respectful dialogue will it be possible to build a Judiciary that responds to the needs of society and guarantees the human rights of all people.
