ÉTAT DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS EN LAS RELACIONES FAMILIARES












                  the then Minister of the SCJN Mariano Azuela Güitrón; four years later, the application or
                  execution of five theses in the same sense (which establish jurisprudence), which allow the

                  participation of the military and seafarers in the field of public security, without the need for

                  a state of emergency to be declared , with negative effects on human rights in Mexico.


                  It should be remembered that Article 129 of the General Constitution of the Republic reads
                  as follows (Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, 2015):


                  In times of peace, no military authority can exercise more functions than those that have an

                  exact connection with military discipline. There will only be fixed and permanent Military

                  Commanders  in  castles,  fortresses  and  warehouses  that  depend  immediately  on  the

                  Government  of  the  Union;  or  in  the  camps,  barracks  or  tanks  that,  outside  the  towns,
                  establish for the station of the troops.





                  Interestingly, the highest court does not interpret it that way, and even paves the way for the

                  armed forces to participate in missions and functions that correspond to public security: in

                  five Theses of the Plenary of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation ( Thesis XXV / 96,
                  XXVII / 96, XXVIII / 96, XXIX / 96 and XXX / 96) establishes that the three forces "can

                  participate in civil actions in favor of public security, in aid of civil authorities" (SCJN, 2000:

                  Volume XI, 556 and 557); thesis, incidentally, by the Minister Azuela Güitrón himself.


                  The  two  conditions  or  reservations  established  by  the  SCJN  itself  are:  a)  that  the
                  participation  of  the  military  responds  to  a  well-founded  and  motivated  request  from  the
