Between 2000 and 2025, the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) issued 2,842 recommendations, including ordinary ones and for serious violations of fundamental guarantees, to various institutions; But of that total, 6.77 percent were not accepted and 5.11 percent show unsatisfactory compliance, according to the database of the National Alert System for Human Rights Violations.
The years in which the refusal to admit these CNDH instruments has been most documented were in 2023, when they added 30 recommendations; in 2004 there were 28; in 2010, 24; in 2009, 23; in 2008, 17; in 2007, 13, and in 2006 there were 10.
Of the 201 ordinary ones that were not accepted between 2000 and 2025, nine were directed to the Congress of Guerrero, the same number to the government of that same entity and to the Mexican Social Security Institute.
Likewise, seven were issued to the then Attorney General’s Office of the Republic, six to the government of Baja California, five to the Secretary of the Navy (Semar) and four to the National Water Commission, the city council of Chihuahua, Petróleos Mexicanos and the Federal Public Security Secretariat.
Other authorities to whom these CNDH instruments were issued and did not accept them were the governments of Chiapas, Colima, Jalisco, Morelos, Sinaloa and Sonora. Also to the city councils of Alvarado, Veracruz, and Chilpancingo, Guerrero, as well as the Institute of Security and Social Services of State Workers and the Secretariats of Finance and Public Credit and of Foreign Relations.
Regarding the recommendations for serious violations of human rights not admitted, four of them were directed to Semar, three to the Attorney General’s Office of Veracruz, two to the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic and the same number to the government of Veracruz.
Also, join the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Mexico, the National Polytechnic Institute and the Secretariats of Citizen Security of Mexico City and Public Security of Veracruz.
Regarding the violating acts that were claimed in the unaccepted instruments, they are related to having failed to comply with any of the formalities for the issuance of search warrants or during the execution of this, as well as for home visits; improperly providing public service; cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment; lack of legality, honesty, loyalty, impartiality and effectiveness in the performance of duties, among others.
The CNDH, headed by Rosario Piedra Ibarra, in its 2025 annual report recognized that the non-acceptance of its instruments and the fact that although the authorities are in time they do not respond to them, is an example of “how very complex the reparation of human rights violations is in the current model, if they are left to the will of the authority.”
