MEXICO CITY – The Mexican government released a report last week rejecting the Holy See’s recommendations to “respect and defend life from its conception to natural death,” and to preserve and protect “marriage as the conjugal union of a man and a woman.”

The report was issued as a response to the recommendations made during the United Nation’s Universal Periodic Review, to which Mexico was subject last October and in which member states made 176 recommendations on different issues concerning the country.

“Mexico recognizes and protects the right of every person to marry and found a family,” read the report. “Mexico underlines that there is no international norm that defines the characteristics a family must have.”
