MEXICO CITY – Marking the third anniversary of the publication of Mexico’s human rights constitutional reform in the Diario Oficial, or Official Gazette, Interior Secretary Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong said Tuesday that that reform was the most important in Mexico’s history.

Osorio Chong said it is now up to all entities in the country to make its terms a reality for all Mexicans.

The reform, which was adopted in 2011, proposes to amend 11 articles of the Constitution, redefining the paradigm of the state as one that recognizes the human rights of its citizens and their power to invoke them.
