In the Dominican Republic, recent judicial rulings have addressed administrative and disciplinary matters. The Supreme Court of Justice upheld a decision requiring the General Directorate of Public Procurement to reinstate a career public servant and pay over RD$2.9 million in unpaid benefits. Additionally, the Court of Appeal of the Santiago Judicial Department ruled that the Dominican College of Notaries is not a mandatory prerequisite for disciplinary actions against notaries, citing the right to effective judicial protection under Law No. 140-15.

In Mexico, an administrative tribunal ordered the Secretariat of National Defense to release military archives concerning the ‘Dirty War’ period to provide access to documentation regarding disappeared activists. The court also mandated the establishment of a commission to review and catalog these historical documents.
