Overview
- Day one of a three‑day hearing gathered people with disabilities and advocates to inform action of unconstitutionality 182/2024 brought by Michoacán’s human rights commission.
- The Court accepted 102 of 306 requests to participate, and advocates faulted the process for short registration periods and a lack of easy‑to‑read and screen‑reader‑friendly formats.
- Batres’s proposal would require that challenges over missing consultations be initiated at the request of persons with disabilities and would avoid striking down provisions that merely reiterate established rights.
- Organizations warned the change would be regressive and risk paternalism, urging the Court to preserve meaningful consultation and the ability of human rights commissions to file actions without individual petitions.
- Ministers Yasmín Esquivel and Giovanni Figueroa said the Court has not changed its criterion and that Batres’s proposal remains under debate until the hearings conclude.
