Chihuahua Human Rights Commission activities

Overview

The State Human Rights Commission of Chihuahua (CEDH) has engaged in several initiatives to promote human rights and regulatory protections within the state.

In August 2026, the CEDH participated in public consultations regarding proposed guidelines for the protection of radio and television audiences. The commission advocated for a balance between audience rights and the preservation of freedom of expression, warning that regulatory powers must be clearly delimited to prevent “undue interventions in journalistic content, opinions, or editorial decisions.”

By September 2026, the CEDH expanded its outreach efforts by launching ‘Sentido Humano’, a semiannual magazine available in print and digital formats. The publication is designed to make complex legal concepts more accessible to the public, focusing on themes such as human dignity, equality, and digital rights to foster a “culture of peace.”

In the same month, the CEDH launched the 2026 call for the “Empresa Comprometida con los Derechos Humanos” (Company Committed to Human Rights) distinction. This program invites private sector organizations with at least 10 employees to certify their commitment to labor rights and human dignity. Based on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, evaluations focus on criteria such as non-discrimination, the prevention of child labor, safe working conditions, and environmental protection. The certification process includes self-evaluation and facility verification, with successful applicants receiving recognition in December.
