Overview

  • The Ayuntamiento de Morelia and the Michoacán State Human Rights Commission signed the pact on December 8, 2025 during International Human Rights Day events in the city.
  • Mayor Alfonso Martínez Alcázar and CEDH president Josué Alfonso Mejía Pineda led the signing, joined by municipal officials, civil organizations, unions, and local media.
  • The collaboration aims to strengthen institutional coordination, promote and protect residents’ rights, and shift toward territorial work that actively accompanies victims.
  • Officials highlighted existing measures in Morelia, including a protocol for public servants with a human rights perspective and mandatory body-worn cameras for the Municipal Police to improve transparency and deter abuses.
  • CEDH cited Morelia’s prior public apology for a rights violation as precedent and said the model, including the protocol, is slated for replication in other municipalities with plans for municipal human rights units, with timelines not yet specified.
