ÉTAT DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS EN LAS RELACIONES FAMILIARES















                  Jurisprudence emanating from the SCJN as a "crutch" that should not surprise the reader, in
                  light of the composition of the highest jurisdictional instance, on which the interpretation of

                  the Supreme Law of the Nation rests; what is worth illustrating with the following case:


                  Case 1 - Designation of Eduardo Medina-Mora Icaza as Minister of the SCJN


                  Controversial  figure,  in  addition  to  General  Director  of  CISEN  (2000-2005),  serves  as

                  Secretary  of  Federal  Public  Security  (2005-2006)  and  Attorney  General  of  the  Republic
                  (2006-2009), during the sexennium headed by Felipe de Jesús Calderón Hinojosa ( 2006-

                  before the vacancy produced by the death of Minister Sergio Valls at the end of 2014.

                  For  a  recognized  jurist  (Narváez  Medécigo,  2015),  Medina-Mora  Icaza  does  not  satisfy,  at

                  least, two of the requirements established by article 95 of the Political Constitution of the

                  United Mexican States (2015) for this assignment: the two years of residence in the country

                  "prior to the day of appointment" (fraction V) and good reputation (section IV, first part).
                  That  constitutional  requirement  seeks  that  the  proposed  candidates  have  roots  and
