The national ombudsman, Jose Luis Soberanes Fernández went before the Supreme Court of the Nation (SCJN) to question the constitutionality of a new law from the Attorney General’s Office (PGR).
The rule, he said, prevents the National Commission on Human Rights (NCHR), access to information and determines the delivery of data that is requested. According to Fernández the law limits the amount of evidence availible the NCHR needs to carry its function and in doing so nullifies a nonjudicial protection of human rights in the Constitution.
